The New Beagle Heads to Petco

by TopDog on May 9, 2013

First Look at Humane Society Beagle

This weekend, Saturday, May 11th and Sunday, May 12th, is PETCO Adoption Weekend at the Kalispell Petco store located off Hwy. 93 and our new RV, “The Beagle,” is ready to roll!  We are very excited to unveil the Beagle to the community this Saturday and wish to thank the Petco Foundation once again for their very generous grant that allowed us purchase a reliable transport vehicle.

Humane Society Beagle

If you would like to help adoptable pets find a home and meet potential adopters, we are asking for volunteers to escort pets on both days from 10am-2pm.  Humane Society staff will transport cats or dogs to and from Petco, so all you need to do is meet at the store at 10am and be willing to showcase an available pet.  In addition to escorting adoptable animals, the Humane Society would like to distribute adoption information and collect donated bags of dry pet food to be distributed to pets-in-need at the upcoming “Project Homeless Connect” community event that will be held Jun 13 & 14 at the Salvation Army Administration building in Kalispell.

If you would like to volunteer for Petco Adoption Weekend, please phone Sarah at 752-7297 between the hours of 11am – 5pm, Tuesday – Saturday or email adoptions@humanesocietypets.com.

Thank you and enjoy the beautiful weather in the Flathead!

National Pit Bull Awareness Day

October 27, 2012

Perception vs Reality! Mention the term “Pit Bull” to many people and it will conjure up visions of snarling, teeth-gnashing half-crazed fighting dogs. Unfortunately, some pit bulls live up to that image, but not all of them.  Pit bulls are a product of their environment; how they were raised, trained and loved growing up usually [...]
