Lewis & Clark Humane Society Come find your forever friend today!

The LCHS is a private, community-based, not-for-profit organization that provides shelter for unwanted and stray animals (primarily dogs and cats) while working to end pet overpopulation, reduce the need for euthanasia, and improve the humane treatment and well-being of companion animals. It serves a population of roughly 70,000 residents in southwestern Montana and a service area covering roughly 5,500 square miles. Since its creation in 1964, LCHS has continued to grow and expand its facilities and programs along with the growth of the community. In an effort to decrease the amount of animals that come through the shelter, we work tirelessly to make sure the pets in our community are vaccinated and spayed and neutered while in our care. LCHS also has a comprehensive foster care program - including day-trips and sleepovers - in order to help meet the needs of all the animals in our care while they wait for their forever homes. We also have multiple specialized personnel who work to socialize, exercise, and train animals in our care, in order to provide the best quality of life for the animals. If you are interested in adopting an animal you find our adoptable animals at http://www.lchsmontana.org/

Meet Buddy! Your future best friend, adventure buddy, and resident goofball! 💙

Buddy is a fun-loving, goofy pup with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! He's smart, silly, eager to please, and always ready to be part of whatever his favorite humans are doing. Whether he's learning something new, showing off his smarts, or just being his ridiculous puppy self, this boy keeps us smiling!

And when we say he's smart, we mean SMART! Buddy has already completed a board-and-train program and comes with notes to help his future family keep up the great work! He picks things up quickly, loves having direction, and genuinely enjoys learning.

Buddy has also experienced life in a home and did wonderfully with the kids in his previous family! He's a loyal, affectionate boy who just wants to be included in the fun.

His one request? No cats, please! Buddy thinks they're WAY too much fun to chase, so a feline-free home is a must.

Buddy has come such a long way since arriving at LCHS, and we're so proud of the happy, healthy, goofy guy he's becoming. He's still a puppy with plenty to learn, and he'd love a family who's excited to keep teaching him, laughing at his antics, and enjoying all the fun that comes with a young dog!

Buddy doesn't need to be a perfect dog. He just needs someone who thinks he's the perfect dog for them.

Come meet this lovable goofball and see why we're all rooting for Buddy!

🐾 Meet Zephyr: Part Athlete, Part Cuddlebug, 100% GOOD BOY! 💙

Looking for an adventure buddy who can keep up with your active lifestyle AND snuggle up for a movie marathon? Zephyr might just be your perfect match!

This handsome, energetic boy is the definition of work hard, play hard, nap harder.

✅ Fetch fanatic? Absolutely. Zephyr LOVES chasing a ball and will keep searching long after you've given up hope of finding it.

✅ Water dog? You bet! Swimming is one of his favorite things, and he's even been learning to dock dive!

✅ Social butterfly? Yep! He loves playing with people and other dogs and has been thriving at doggy daycare at SkyHi Kennel!

✅ Smarty pants? Oh, yes! Zephyr has started bird dog training, learning to point, flush, and retrieve. He's athletic, eager to learn, and has great recall when he's focused!

✅ Professional snuggler? His favorite way to end an action-packed day is curled up with his people, soaking up all the love and affection he can get.

And the best part? Zephyr has some wonderful house manners! He sleeps quietly on his dog bed through the night and even knows how to ring the bells on the door when he needs to go outside!

Zephyr is a LOT of dog in the very best way. He's bursting with energy, personality, and love, and he'll thrive with an active family who can give him plenty of opportunities to run, swim, play, and use that clever brain of his.

🚫 Zephyr needs a home without cats.

If your idea of a perfect day involves an outdoor adventure, an endless game of fetch, and a big snuggle session on the couch afterward, Zephyr is ready to be your new best friend!

Come meet this incredible boy at Lewis & Clark Humane Society!
