While we were able to move the animals into the building we still need help with finishing and if you can volunteer to help, please call Deena at 293-2060 and leave a message.  Money and support are still needed to finish the outside as well as the inside of the building. Checks can be mailed to KPFL, Box 1454, Libby, MT 59923.

Our next meeting will be Monday, January 11, 2010, at 6 p.m. at our New Shelter located at 125 County Shop Road in Libby. Everyone is invited to come and share ideas and see the new Shelter. If you have questions or need directions please e-mail. Minutes from our last meeting.

We are always in need of volunteers at the Shelter doing everything from cleaning and feeding the animals to playing with the kittens. If you are interested please come and see us. We have lots of fund raisers and activities and would love to have your help. From sitting at a table handing out literature to selling hot dogs - have we got a job for you. E-mail if you can help.

Shelter hours are 9:30 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday and on Saturday and Sunday we are open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

NEW - CAT BEDS
Kuranda has just developed cat beds. They look like they would be great for the Shelter. It is possible to disinfect them unlike the cardboard boxes and cushions and pads we now use.

Questions - please call Marge Sullivan at 406-293-5039 or e-mail.

Photos and descriptions of the pets we have available for adoption can be seen by clicking here. Information on individual animals is at the bottom of the page. Our on lline photos are not up to date (once we are in our new Shelter we hope to get back on track) so please call and make an appointment to see the dogs and cats available.

If you can't adopt at this time, could you foster a pet in your home until we can find a permanent home? If you can, please e-mail.

If you can't foster, could you spend some time at the Shelter as a volunteer? We always need people to help with the animals - everything from cleaning, feeding, grooming, walking, and socializing the animals helps. If that doesn't work for you - how about office work or fund raising activities?

Please e-mail if you can help.

If you are unable to do this KPFL, with some financial assistance from the County, is still actively offering a spay/neuter program. If you need help to spay or neuter your pet call 295-kpfl (5735) or if you can help fianancially mail your check to KPFL, Box 1454, Libby, MT 59923.
