Happy HOWLoween, from BRHA. What a spooktacular day it has been!
☠️🎃👻👽

BRHA alum Paisley had a great time helping us hand out candy to all the little Goblins in Hamilton Downtown this evening.

Be safe, wonderful community!

HOLLY HAS BEEN FOUND!!!! 🥳👏🥳

After several days without a single sighting...
Today brought multiple reports of Holly being spotted throughout the day.

And then...
OUR PHENOMENAL VOLUNTEERS FOUND HER IN ONE OF OUR LIVE TRAPS!!!! 😭👏🥳

We are SOOOOO incredibly grateful to the volunteers who have spent countless hours searching, following leads, checking traps, and doing everything they could to bring Holly home. 💕

We also want to give a BIG shoutout to Montana Lost Pet/Game Recovery, who stepped in and helped us out simply out of the kindness of their heart. 🫶

They gave their time, knowledge, and effort to help us find Holly, and we'd really love to return the favor!

Having resources like this available right here in the Bitterroot Valley is SOOOO important, and we'd love to see our community help support them so they can continue being there for others when they're needed.

If you'd like to throw a few bucks toward their time and efforts, the BRHA would be happy to collect contributions and make sure they get to the right place! 🤞🥹

To EVERYONEEEEE who shared, searched, reported sightings, kept an eye out, or helped in any way THANK YOUUUUUUUU.👏🫶👏

Seriously. We couldn't do this without you. ❤️

HOLLY IS HOME SAFE!!!! 🥳
She will definitely have a full belly and a warm cozy bed tonight. 😍

Remember those cats we welcomed from Texas back in September? 🧐

Wellllll... We STILL have FOUR hanging around waiting for their people! 🐈🫶

Meet Oliver, Racoon, Pongo and Pixel! 😍
And these four definitely have their own personalities!

🐾Oliver is a sweet, affectionate boy who can be easily startled.
A calm approach and a little time go a long way with this guy.

🐾Racoon is our four-year-old gentleman.
He's a sweetheart who's looking for someone patient and a quieter place to settle in.

🐾Pongo is a gentle, curious little guy with soft purrs and a friendly side that's starting to shine.

🐾Pixel is a curious, affectionate boy who enjoys head scratches and has a playful side, especially when dangling toys are involved. 😍

Now... they've gotten pretty comfortable with shelter life and the humans who take care of them... but visitors?
That's a whole different story. 😅

If you come looking for them, don't expect them to be lined up waiting at the door... 🤷‍♀️

You're going to have to do a little investigating. 🧐

We're talking dark spaces.
Tight spaces.
Under the beds.
Inside the donut rings.
Tucked into cubbies... and even up on the top shelf platforms.
..Let's just say they've gotten pretty creative about finding their favorite hiding spots. 🤣🤷‍♀️💃

They may need a little extra time to venture out, say hello and decide you're someone worth trusting...And that's okay!

A little patience, a little kindness, and maybe a treat or two can go a LONGGG way.
(ASK US FOR TREATS! We've got you covered on the bribery. 😉)

They've had their turn getting settled in at BRHA. 🫶

Nowww... we're hoping their next move is into a home of their very own, with people who will give them the time to settle in and show off those personalities.

The important stuff:
- All four are neutered
- Microchipped
- Up to date on vaccinations, including rabies

Ready to meet your next feline roommate?
Come find Oliver, Racoon, Pongo or Pixel at BRHA!
..And... if you can't find them right away... well, check under a bed or two.
You might just find your new best furriend. 😂🫶

🧐🧐

Wellllll... something's missing around here. 😅

Our Pet Pantry has disappeared! 😱

Okay, not disappeared... disappeared. We're actually making room for something REALLY coooooool, and we have a feeling you're going to love it! 😍

We've got a very kind and generous donor to thank for making this possible, along with Dustin Mayo at Golden Property Repair, who's helping bring the whole vision to life! 🫶

We're not spilling ALLLLLLL the details just yet. 😉

But don't worry, the Pet Pantry isn't gone!

It's temporarily set up just inside the conference room doors, to your left as you walk in. 👌😎

And it's still stocked with all the good stuff!

🐾 Dog/Cat food AND Treats
🐾 Toys
🐾 Bedding
🐾 Pet shampoos and brushes
🐾 All those random little things that come in handy when you've got animals! 😅

SAME Pet Pantry.
TEMPORARY new home...
MUCH cooler things coming. 👀

Stay Tuned! 🫶💃

PETER! 😍🐾

This Pup is ONE YEARS OLD and ready to PLAY...ALWAYSSSS. 😅

He's great on a leash and absolutely PHENOMENAL with other dogs! 🥳

Other animals? Unsure. Not enough information. 😅🤷‍♀️

Highlyyyy treat motivated.
Housetrained. 👌😎

Nowwww...he does get a little mouthy when he gets excited and starts playing.

He's NOT being aggressive.
He just gets a littleeee carried away and needs some HELP learning that our hands aren't toys. 🤣

It's something that can absolutely be worked on with some consistency and redirection!

This goofy dude has some manners to learn, but will definitely be a phenomenal addition to an active household! 🫶

We're open until 6.
Come down and meet him. 🫶💃

Peter's Info:
🐾 1 year old
🐾 Terrier/Pit Bull mix
🐾 Medium-sized dude
🐾 Microchipped
🐾 Up to date on vaccines/rabies
🐾 Neutered

This happy guy was found wandering Water St in Darby late last night. She is not chipped and has no tags on her collar. If you recognize him please call 406-363-5311 or stop by the shelter at 262 Fairgrounds Rd in Hamilton.
