Wanted: Forever Homes for Pound Puppies

Did you know that black dogs and cats are the last to get adopted?  They are also the most euthanized. 

Here's a picture of the typical pound puppy:

She's black, weighing in at over 55 pounds, part Labrador Retriever or German Shephard, and may have a white spot on her chest.  Regardless of where you live, your local shelter has one, or two, or five dogs who look just like this cutie.  She's currently boarding at the Missoula Animal Shelter and would MUCH rather live with you.

My dog, Delaney, could pass for her birth-brother.  So will my next pound-puppy.

New Kitties Available for Adoption



Check out some of the kitties available for adoption at Animeals in Missoula.

I can personally attest to the wonderful animals who are waiting for a new forever home.  See the picture below?  Grace, the orange tabby, USED to live at Animeals, but she decided hanging out at our house with Max, the kitty we adopted from the Missoula Animal Shelter, was a better deal.

If you don't have room for a kitty in your house, please consider making a Christmas contribution. 

Meow!

Carola's dog, Trillian


My new companion, Trillian, came from the county animal shelter. She was thin as a rake, bad skin and coat, worms, fleas, the lot. And scared of everything, especially getting in the car. A guy from the shelter had to help me get her in to take her home. Now she's beautiful and confident and so affectionate. Luckily, as we live in Oregon, she loves being dried off. This morning she kept going out in the rain, then coming to show me she was wet so I'd towel her. In the end, I had to close the dog door!
