Adopt Don’t Shop!

First, we would like to start this week’s blog by shouting out our wonderful partners The Humane Society of Western Montana! They are participating in a study with Dr. Erica Feuerbacher from Carroll College concerning stress. This week they studied stress between dogs that were co-housed and ones that were individually housed in the kennels. The results of this study should “help keep dogs happier and healthier in shelters throughout the country!” We are very excited to hear about the results when the study is finished!

We also had a big week with another rescue flight from New Mexico. On Thursday at 5:30 A.M., the “Big Dog” was loaded with over 60 furry passengers. Thanks to our partners, we had a successful rescue flight: Friends of Mesilla Valley Animal Service, Tails to Freedom, The Humane Society of Western Montana, Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, Idaho Humane Society and Thompson River Animal Care Shelter.All the animals were delivered safely and are looking to find a loving family!

This week Pilot Peter’s son, Buller Rork, adopted his new best friend and said, “I adopted Bear because I just got to the point in my life where a dog would be good for me. I’ve been wanting to get a dog for a while but I was always too nervous about the costs and expenses with raising a dog and whether or not I was ready for it. But I’m ready now!” If you feel ready, please visit your local shelter to give an animal a forever home!
