Where puppies play & pigs fly. Tin Cup Giving Season 6/13-7/25 Tin Cup Race Day 7/19

Puppy Palace Residents

Take a peek at who’s currently living on the property, their unique stories, and where they’ll be available for adoption!

Puppy Palace #1

The @simonsits litter arrived from El Paso Animal Services thanks to Dog Is My Copilot. The mom, Isabel, was allegedly found as a stray. We don’t have anymore details on them but we are so happy they are here with us now. Follow along on their journey! They will be adoptable through Aska’s Animals. Reach out to us at info@askasanimals.org to learn more!

Puppy Palace #2

Hiccup (mom) and the How to Train a Dragon litter (8 puppies) joined us on 6/28 from our friends at Mountain Humane in collaboration with Rilo’s Rescue. They will be with us until early August when they head back to the Hailey, ID area to start their adoption journey!

Puppy Palace #3

Mazzie and her eight puppies (named after birthstones) arrived from our friends at Idaho Humane Society. She was surrendered to them after a child in her family developed allergies. Days after arriving to the shelter she gave birth to puppies. They will spend the next six weeks with us and be adoptable through Idaho Humane Society when they are adoption age!

Bonus Litter

Named after one of our favorite coffee shops, Art’s Coffee, these six puppies are our bonus litter. They hail from Toolele, UT before arriving with us on 5/30. They will be adoptable through Rilo’s Rescue middle-end of July! More photos and details to come as they get settled.

Children’s Book

Our first kid’s book!
Wings, tails, horns, and fur. Woof, whiskers, beaks, and purrs. Children and animal rescue enthusiasts will enjoy this colorful book written by Hope Nartonis and illustrated by Grace Peck featuring the long-term residents of Aska’s Animals. The pages are full of eyes, ears, noses, and tails to highlight that Aska’s Animals are all different, and all are welcome at the Aska’s Animals farm. While enjoying illustrations of cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, goats, and horses, children will learn how to help homeless animals.

About Us

Welcome to Aska’s Animals, where we are rethinking animal welfare with a long-term approach. Our strategy focuses on raising puppies that have unfortunately found their way into the shelter system—pups who statistically face a higher risk of behavior challenges, disease, and the possibility of returning to shelters later in life or becoming less adoptable. We are committed to providing canine owners, shelters, rescues, and anyone in need with behavior support and education to keep dogs in homes, increase their adoptability, and reduce their time in shelters. Additionally, our expansive space allows us to offer sanctuary to rescued farm animals, giving them a safe place to live out their days.

Meet our Residents

Aska’s Animals provides both temporary care and long-term residency to animals in need. Our long-term sanctuary residents include chickens, pigs, goats, cats, and dogs. You’ll also see Aska’s childhood horse roaming around, enjoying their retirement, and supervising our work. The animals that live here are simply allowed to be animals. They don’t have to earn their share of attention or fear being euthanized for space. Our staff and volunteers meet each animals’ needs including daily enrichment, medical care, and community. Since the farm residents will live out their days with us, our Puppy Palaces are always open to new puppies, providing them with a temporary home as we raise and prepare them for adoption into loving families.

Programs & Partnerships

At Aska’s Animals, our mission is built on three core pillars: Rescue, Canine Behavior, and Sanctuary. Each pillar supports a range of unique programs and partnerships, all aimed at fostering a compassionate community in Teton Valley and beyond. Collaboration with local and regional animal welfare partners is a cornerstone of our work. Through initiatives like Puppy Palaces, Behavior Workshops, one-on-one training, shelter consulting, and our sanctuary program, Aska’s Animals demonstrates a deep commitment to the belief that teamwork is essential for success in animal rescue.

Volunteer

We’re always looking for volunteers to visit the farm, to socialize with our short- and long-term animal residents and to keep their accommodations clean and organized. Please fill out a volunteer application and sign up for one of our monthly volunteer orientations if you are interested in volunteering with us.

Since starting in 2021, we’ve helped nearly 600 mama dogs and puppies rewrite their stories in our Puppy Palaces—stories that often began with a lot of uncertainty. 

Just in the past year, our Canine Behavior Program has reached almost 400 dogs and their humans, offering top-notch training and support without the financial hurdles. It’s helping keep pets in homes, shorten shelter stays, and make life better for dogs and their people.

Meanwhile, our 50+ sanctuary animals are living their best lives here on the farm, 24/7, 365.

Want to help us keep it going?

A gift of just $5 through the @cftetonvalley Tin Cup Challenge can go even further thanks to matching funds—and truly change the story for animals who deserve a second chance.

Help us rewrite the stories of animals in need! 🐶 🐷 🐱

Pull up a chair—we’re getting a little vulnerable for a sec. It’s time we share more about Isabel and the @simonsits litter. This is a great opportunity to pull back the curtain on animal rescue: the unpredictability, the power of partnerships, and the very real challenges we face every day.

After completing our quarantine process, mama Isabel started showing signs of an upper respiratory infection. We got her to Victor Vet, and thanks to their thorough care and attention, additional testing revealed she was positive for Distemper, Bordetella, and Coronavirus.

For those who may not know, Canine Distemper is a highly contagious viral disease that impacts the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems—and can be fatal. It’s preventable through vaccination (so double-check that your pets are up to date!), but it’s also incredibly infectious, with a long incubation period that makes it tricky to detect early.

The good news: Isabel and her puppies are all doing really well, and we’re actively working through the logistics of what their adoption journey will look like. Huge thanks to our friends at @uwvetmed for guiding us through this, sponsoring gold-standard testing that would’ve cost us thousands, and helping us stay one step ahead.

We’re hopeful that everyone continues to stay healthy and that adoptions can move forward ASAP. If any additional veterinary care is needed, we’ll be doing everything possible to mitigate risk and protect future adopters and animals in our care.

Moments like this are powerful reminders that so much of this work is outside our control—we can only take things one day at a time. In the meantime, Isabel and her crew are getting a whole lot of love and high-level care, and we’re continuing to accept adoption interest.

And because no good educational rant would be complete without it: we’re in the thick of Tin Cup Giving Season. Your support during fundraisers like this is what makes our work possible. When animals in our program face something as serious as a disease outbreak, your generosity means we can focus on them first, and finances second. Thanks to @cftetonvalley, your donation dollars will go even further. ❤️

We’ve officially rescued and raised 1️⃣2️⃣7️⃣ mama dogs and their puppies this year — and counting! We also have more sanctuary animals on the property than ever before. And through our Canine Behavior Program, we’re supporting dogs, owners, shelters, fosters, and community members in meaningful, lasting ways.

There are countless animals still waiting to turn the page. Through @cftetonvalley Tin Cup, we can help rewrite their stories — together. 📖 ❤️

Happy almost weekend from the puppies and moms on property! Here’s a quick update from our Puppy Palaces:

🐕 Puppy Palace 1: The @simonsits litter!
The good news? They’ll be adoptable through us @askasanimals.
The not-so-good news? They were exposed to an illness, so we’re taking things day by day. This work isn’t easy—it’s constantly evolving and full of challenges, but we’re doing everything we can.

🐾 Puppy Palace 2: Betsy and the Charlotte’s Web litter officially graduated this week and are now adoptable through @animaladoptioncenterjhwy! Our team flipped the palace, and we’re getting ready to welcome a new @rilos_rescue litter on Saturday!

🐶 Puppy Palace 3: Mazzie + her Birthstone litter + her adopted @artscoffeeshop litter
This beautiful blended family will be adoptable through @idahohumanesociety and @rilos_rescue at the end of July!

Never a dull moment here on the farm. Thank you for continuing to support us and our mission!

Mazzie has been an absolute rockstar of a mom! Not only is she caring for her own 8 puppies, but she also lovingly adopted 6 more who lost their mom. She’s taking it all in stride—just like our community during Tin Cup (@cftetonvalley), lifting up the incredible nonprofits working hard through this six-week fundraising stretch.

We see you. We APPRECIATE you. 🫶

This time of year always reminds us how powerful our community is—rallying together to make sure nonprofits like ours can keep doing the work that matters. ❤️ x ♾️

Betsy and her kids have come a long way in life. This family's journey started in Los Angeles with the amazing people at @thespayceproject. Through the power of collaboration, they made their way to us, and next week, they begin their adoption journey through the @animaladoptioncenterjhwy .  Through it all, @modernbeast has advocated and helped support this amazing group of dogs. As we get ready for Betsy and her family to move on to their next phase, we celebrated with some puppy yoga at @modernbeast with @dayhikeapp and @animaladoptioncenterjhwy 

We are truly grateful for the community locally and beyond, who help us rewrite the ending for all the dogs that come through our Puppy Palace program. 

Currently, we are in the midst of a very impactful 6-week giving period called the Tin Cup Challenge where donations are matched by the @cftetonvalley challenger fund. This is the time that your $5 donation goes even further, and we would be so grateful for your financial support to make our work possible.

The link to make a donation is in our bio. 

From the bottoms of our paws, thank you for being on this journey with us, and together, we can continue to rewrite the ending for so many more animals.

Your donations through Tin Cup help us rewrite the stories of animals who were simply dealt a tough hand. Because of the Tin Cup Challenge — and the generosity of @cftetonvalley and their challengers — every dollar you give during this campaign is partially matched, making an even bigger impact on the lives we care for.

Thank you for being part of this work. Let’s rewrite some stories together. 🐶 🐷 🐱 🐐 🐓 🐰

We have some very exciting news—Isabel and the @simonsits litter will be adoptable through Aska’s Animals starting in early July! 💥

After seeing the incredible response to their story, we realized something: there are amazing potential adopters right here in our own backyard. Instead of sending them to an adoption partner and adding another stop on their journey, we’re cutting out the middle step and placing them directly into loving homes—hopefully yours. 🐶

For those new here, adoption isn’t usually our lane—it’s a whole operation of its own. We focus on the work many of our partners can’t do: caring for moms and litters in-house for extended stays. And our partners? They’re experts at managing the logistics and long-term follow-up that comes with finding the perfect home. But this time, it just made sense to keep it in the family.

A little about this crew: Isabel is a sweet and curious dachshund mix, and we’re still learning more about her. Her puppies are just over five weeks old and likely to stay small-breed—we don’t know who dad was, but the pups are confident, social, and adorable. Four girls and one boy.

If you’re interested in being considered for adoption, send us an email at info@askasanimals.org with a little about yourself. We can’t wait to find these pups the homes they deserve. ❤️

Just when we thought we couldn’t love Betsy and the Charlotte’s Web litter any more… this morning’s field trip cracked our hearts wide open. 🐄  It was clear today was the best day of their lives thus far. 🥹

Raising puppies means more than just feeding and cuddling. Here in the farm we deeply believe in setting them up for success in the big world—introducing them to new sights, sounds, spaces, and experiences in a way that builds confidence and trust. This kind of thoughtful socialization is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for life beyond the Puppy Palaces.

Today’s adventure brought the whole crew—including sweet mama Betsy!—to one of our board members’ arenas for a field trip (huge thanks!). The pups got to stretch their legs, sniff new smells, and explore a brand-new environment. They were curious, brave, and downright adorable.

At just over 6 weeks old, we’re entering the final stretch of our time with them before they head to our friends at @animaladoptioncenterjhwy to begin their next chapter and find forever homes. We’ve watched them grow into confident, playful little personalities, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Want to meet them before they’re off on their next journey? These future celebrities will be the main event at Puppy Yoga on 6/21 with @modernbeast X @dayhikeapp X @jacksonholeroasters X @animaladoptioncenterjhwy! 🐶🧘‍♀️
