Animal Shelter and Care Services
THE SHELTER PROVIDES HOUSING AND CARE FOR HUNDREDS OF SURRENDERED OR STRAY ANIMALS EACH YEAR. THE ORGANIZATION PARTNERS WITH LOCAL CLINICS, VETERINARIANS, THE CITY AND COUNTY TO PROVIDE LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES. THE SHELTER DOES NOT EUTHANIZE ANY ADOPTABLE ANIMALS DUE TO LENGTH OF STAY. DUE TO SOMETIMES EXCESS CAPACITY, THE SHELTER IS ABLE TO ASSIST OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCALITIES, SUCH AS INDIAN RESERVATIONS, IN FINDING HOMES FOR THEIR ANIMALS AS WELL. IN ADDITION TO CARING FOR ANIMALS, THE ORGANIZATION DOES PUBLIC OUTREACH AND INFORMATION TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF HUMANE ANIMAL PRACTICES. THE SHELTER PROVIDES FUNDS, SUPPLIES, AND PET FOOD TO FAMILIES IN NEED. IN 2022, THE SHELTER WAS ABLE TO TAKE IN A TOTAL OF 448 ANIMALS (281 DOGS, 130 CATS, AND 37 MISC OTHER SMALL ANIMALS). OF THESE, 55 WERE RETURNED TO THEIR OWNERS AND 378 WERE ADOPTED OUT TO NEW HOMES. IN JUNE OF 2022 THERE WAS CATASTROPHIC FLOODING OF THE NEARBY YELLOWSTONE RIVER. THE SHELTER WAS BADLY DAMAGED IN THE FLOOD AND WAS FORCED TO CLOSE UNTIL IT CAN BE REPAIRED OR REBUILT. ALL OF THE SHELTER ANIMALS WERE RESCUED. OTHER LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS AND THE COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE IN COPING WITH THIS SITUATION AND FINDING TEMPORARY ALTERNATIVES TO PROVIDING THE NECESSARY CARE. THE SHELTER REOPENED IN LIMITED CAPACITY IN OCTOBER 2022. THE SHELTER FULLY REOPENED IN JANUARY 2023, HOWEVER RESTORATION WILL CONTINUE INTO 2024. IN 2022, 481,000 WAS SPENT ON FLOOD RESTORATION.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$497.7K
