Land of Misfits Dog Rescue

Helping dogs who have run out of options

Land of Misfits provides an alternate option for sick, abandoned, injured, mom and pups, hard to adopt dogs from overcrowded animal shelters.  We are located near Rexburg Idaho and show dogs by appointment only.      

Our 12-kennel facility is set up for individual care for dogs:

*Indoors kennels with access to individual and group play areas outdoors.

*An indoor playroom is available to introduce a homelike setting for socialization or play when inclement weather limits outdoor activity.

*Provide offsite activities to socialize with other dogs, people, and situations.

*If you wish to meet one of our dogs, please contact us through our website or call us and we can set up an appointment.

If you would like to donate, to our cause and help with these forgotten and unloved dogs with food, veterinarian services and transport, we do accept cash and checks through our P.O. Box 143, St. Anthony, ID 83445 or Venmo at Jolene-Foster-5.  These will be tax deductible.  

Kia

Don't forget about Kia. She has been here for a couple of months and has learned to settle down more being around other dogs. She may need to be the only dog in your family, but she will not let you down in the snuggle department. She also loves walks, car rides and just hanging out. Previous years have taught her to be assertive with adult dogs, small dogs, cats and chickens. She does seem to like puppies. She loves to play with Snickers here at the LOM. She is also spayed and vaccinated. Please give her a chance. She deserves it. Meet and greets are always recommended. Adoption Price is $100.00

Snickers

Little Snickers is well, getting bigger. She is now nine months old. She is also a vaccinated and spayed hound who likes to follow her nose, which can be very comical. She is a happy-go-lucky pup. She is good with dogs and people both big and small. She is not fully house trained, but her kennel is clean more and more often. She is learning leash manners along with sit, stay, come. Meet and greets are always recommended. Adoption Price is $150.00.

Rowdy

Rowdy is a fun-loving White German Shepard/Lab mix. He is just over two years old. He is up to date on all his shots, microchipped and neutered. He loves to play and is very dog AND people social. He is smart, knows sit, down, crawl and come. He rides will in a car and does well on leash. Rowdy would do well on a farm with a job to do. Load up shotgun in your truck and get to work. Rowdy would make a great family dog. He would enjoy all the company and playtime. Please call for an appointment to see Rowdy for yourself. Adoption fee $150.00.

Birdie

Birdie is an eight-year-old Hound mix. She is a sweet, loving dog who loves your attention and, oh yea, belly rubs. She loves to be outside and experience all that comes her way. She will let you know who is coming down your driveway. She is a very good watch dog. She will also quiet down and nap in the shade. Being eight, she is settled, house trained, does not chew on furniture or clothes. :) She loves to go for walks and walk where her nose takes her. Meet and greets are always recommended. Adoption Price is $100.00

Dottie

Meet my sweet Dottie. She is an eight-year-old Hound. She is spayed and vaccinated and ready for a loving forever home. She is an older gal who loves to be with you while you do your chores, sit on the porch or watch tv. She is hard of hearing but still loves going for slow walks where she can sniff and explore what her nose finds. Though not a puppy, she is friendly, happy, sweet and past puppy chewing and house training. Meet and greets are always recommended. Adoption Price is $100.00

In loving memory of my brother Bob Swank, who passed away November 7th, 2021.  

When I told him of my crazy idea of a dog rescue, he patted me on the leg and said, "They are God's creatures too". People had scoffed at my dream but not my brother. He was always there to add an encouraging word and kept the spark that was in my heart to follow through with this idea, this goofy idea.

Through texts and phone calls, I kept him updated on the progress of my "barn". Nothing but encouraging words came back on my phone. I wanted him to come up to see it but that never happened. That made me very sad because he would never see the completed "barn". Walking to the "barn" for another day, I realized that he sees it from Heaven. He is still there to give me support and I can even hear his goofy jokes and laughter at all of our mishaps.

I miss him so very much and think of him every day!

I love you Bob
