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. 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 Intermountain Humane, and Dr Jeff is now building a new IMH shelter at the site of PPI. 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 re-home hundreds of 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The old Intermountain Humane facility, which permanently closed last December, was too small, too outdated, and too overwhelmed to meet the growing demand. Animals were waiting in line for space that didn't exist. Some never got the chance they deserved simply because there was no space for 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 re-home 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.
