Helping the homeless and neglected animals of this community is number one on our list. (Check our statistics down below). AAs of March 8th, we have adopted 0 dogs, 2 pups, 5 cats, and 1 kitten. In 2013, we have returned to their owners 11 dogs, 1 pup, 0 cats and 0 kittens. We assisted Fish, Wildlife and Game with wounded or injured animals. It may not sound like a lot but we are proud of the numbers. The numbers tell us that the Spay/Neuter Clinics that we attend are reducing the number of animals in our community who would have probably met a horrible fate without the intervention of the Animal Control Officer, Special Services Officer and officers of the Cut Bank Police Department.

Our animals and the community need this service and we will work tirelessly to make this the best community for animals and humans alike. We cannot do this alone and need the help of kind, caring people like yourself. Help us to write happy endings to our adorable adoptables.

Most of our animals were surrendered because their caretakers were moving, divorced, developed allergies or died. Imagine sharing your life with a wonderful four-footed friend simply by opening your heart and your home. Knowing that you have kept that friend from being euthanized which sadly, is the reality of life in any shelter situation. It is the new parent's job to provide attention, love and safe housing.
