Most of the animals that come into our program have
either been abandoned, neglected, abused or surrendered for some reason
or another. We do not want to see these animals suffer again. This next
move in their lives needs to be a permanent one -- their "for always"
home. |
|
| Animals need adopted primarily as household companion animals only.
No dogs will be placed as attack dogs. Dogs will be part of the family
and not chained outside. The math about an indoor cat's life span at
14 years; outdoor cat's lifespan is 18 months*. Based on national statistics.

Montana State Law requires that all canines and felines adopted from
a shelter or pound be altered. All dogs and cats adopted from the Animal
Shelter will be spayed or neutered at their new owners expense unless
they are of such a young age it isn't healthy. At the time of the adoption,
a contract will be signed that the animal will be altered within 30
days.
|
|
| All adopters must be 18 years or older. Identification is required
to adopt any pet.
|
|
|
Animals must NOT be transported in the back of an open vehicle without
some form of restraint, ie. a kennel or leash.
|
|
|
We encourage all family members to be present at the time of adoption.
All househould members must want this pet.
|
|
| No dog will be released for adoption unless the adopter can provide
an adequately fenced yard, have a trolley system or a large enough kennel
that the dog is willing to eliminate in that area. Dogs MUST have some
form of restraint when outdoors unattended.
