Help Us Build a New Beginning for Homeless Animals

The New Intermountain Humane Shelter at Planned Pethood International

Dr. Jeff Young has spent over 30 years fighting for animals that the world too often forgets. Through his work at Planned Pethood International, he's treated tens of thousands of animals, often at little or no cost to their families. His philosophy is simple: every life matters, and every animal deserves a chance.
Now, we're asking you to be part of something bigger.


Planned Pethood International has become one with the Intermountain Humane. Dr Jeff is now building a new IMH shelter at the site of Planned Pethood International. This will be more than just a shelter-it will be a safe haven for neglected, abandoned, and abused animals who deserve better. But to make it a reality, we need your help.

We're raising $300,000 to construct a modern, fully equipped shelter facility that will provide:
* Safe, climate-controlled housing for dogs and cats
* On-site veterinary care through Dr. Jeff's existing clinic
* Dedicated adoption areas to help animals find their forever homes
* Spaces for behavioral support and rehabilitation, because some wounds aren't visible
This new facility will allow us to rescue, treat, and rehome hundreds more animals every year-many of whom wouldn't survive without intervention. These aren't just pets-they're survivors of neglect, trauma, and abandonment. And they deserve a chance.

Why Now?

The current Intermountain Humane facility is too small, too outdated, and too overwhelmed to meet the growing demand. Animals are waiting in line for space that doesn't exist. Some never get the chance they deserve simply because there's nowhere to put them. By relocating and rebuilding at Planned Pethood International, we can combine resources, reduce costs, and deliver better outcomes for the animals-and the people who love them.

This is about saving lives efficiently and compassionately. Dr. Jeff is known for doing things differently-cutting out the fluff, staying focused on what really matters, and never backing down from a challenge. This shelter is the next step in that mission.

Why Your Donation Matters

We're not building this to look fancy. We're building it to function-with smart design, real-world needs in mind, and the same no-nonsense philosophy that Dr. Jeff brings to his veterinary work. Every dollar you donate goes directly to construction costs, supplies, and the critical infrastructure needed to house, heal, and rehome animals in need.
* $25 helps buy food, blankets, and toys for a rescued pet
* $100 contributes toward building materials and equipment
* $500 funds a full medical workup and treatment for a new intake
* $1,000+ helps build entire kennels and cat enclosures

No donation is too small-and every single one helps get us closer to our $300,000 goal.

Be Part of Something That Lasts

Animal lovers, fans of Dr. Jeff: Rocky Mountain Vet, and supporters of humane care: you've always shown up when it mattered. Now's the time to show up again. This shelter will save lives for years to come. It will stand as a symbol of what compassion, grit, and community support can accomplish.

Donate today. Help us build the future these animals deserve.

Together, we can give them not just shelter-but a second chance.

A Message from Dr. Jeff...

Some people know me as “Dr. Jeff, The Rocky Mountain Vet,” and ever since we moved our clinic to Conifer, Colorado, I feel like I’m really living up to that name! I want to personally thank everyone in this community for making us feel so welcome. When we opened our new Planned Pethood International Veterinary Clinic and Training Center in May 2023, it was the realization of a dream I’d had ever since I became a vet 35 years ago. I’ve been fortunate to have had other clinics in my career, but I wanted to build a place where we could not only continue providing excellent and affordable health care for pets but also where veterinary students from around the world could come and train and get the kind of hands-on experience they would never get in school or from a textbook. Our new clinic and training center is helping to make that possible.


In addition to opening our new clinic, we were also fortunate to acquire the Intermountain Humane Society, in Pine.  And, although that facility permanently closed in December 2024, look for IMH to relocate to a brand new, state-of-the-art, pet-friendly facility this year.


I’ve always believed that every pet deserves the best care, and all of us at and IMH strive to make our services accessible to all. From routine check-ups and dentals to emergency surgeries, our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to handle all your pet's needs. We welcome appointments and walk-ins and offer emergency services during business hours. We also host Saturday Vaccine Clinics with discounted vaccinations. And remember, no single surgical procedure at will ever cost more than $2500 (excluding post-op visits). So please let us know if we can provide any service or care for your pets or if you’re looking to adopt a pet.


From all of us at  and IMH, thank you!
