Thanks to The Petco Foundation, Kalispell Petco and Alana Darling, grant writer, for getting a $19,900 Grant awarded to Flathead Shelter Friends! This grant will go to the Flathead County Animal Shelter to re-do the dog kennel floors. The floors are currently in bad shape, painted cement with paint peeling. The new floors will make the shelter brighter, safer, and cleaner. It will be so nice for the dogs! And for our visitors coming to adopt and volunteer! The floors are in progress of being re-done and one adoption side (“stray side:) is done. Stop in the shelter and enjoy the new look. THANK YOU, PETCO!

FSF is looking for some good volunteer help. We are trying to coordinate and get some events scheduled in the coming months but need your help. If you would like to join our Board Members who help the animals in the Flathead County Animal Shelter by volunteering at our events, please contact Sidney at 752-1431. You may also join us at the Board Meetings to find out what all we are doing to help the animals. (See 2012 Events below) Also, the Flathead County Animal Shelter always needs volunteers to help with the animals as well as in the office. Please stop in or call Kristina Elkins at 752-1310. Thanks – remember, volunteering makes a better community!

We have a new program to help enable more pets to find forever homes. Our “Companions” Team will match community seniors with older felines who otherwise might not be able to adopt a cat companion by providing basic services through a permanent foster arrangement. It is hoped within time we can extend this program to include our canine homeless as well. Without this program many pet lovers may not have the opportunity or joy of being able to adopt a homeless animal. This program can help increase the adoptions of cats and dogs normally passed by because of age or other issues. The Program helps those needed to pay for food, litter, vet care and boarding if necessary. Companion Team members are needed and donations are being accepted to keep this program up and running. The Flathead Community Foundation had generously awarded us a grant for this program. Visit FlatheadCommunityFoundation.org. For more information and applications for PET COMPANION program help, contact petcompanions@gmx.com Or call Barbara Demaray at 406-257-1942. There are many animals waiting for you!
