Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Beautiful Angel first came to us 8/25/2021 when her current owners had to move and couldn't take either Angel or her sister Daisy. This is what we were told then: She love carrots and ice cubes. She must check around the house and fence when let outside. Will try to hide toys from her sister outside. Won't become aggressive with her sister if she takes it. Will climb fence if she see's a dog or cat outside of the fence. Not sure if it's aggressive because she's also wagging her tail but barking. Says hello to anyone who walks by the fence. We give her a biscuit when she comes in the house and part of that same biscuit after outside. She likes her mouth dried after a drink inside the house and we also give training treats for it. Loves being on the couch and will bark at the couch if blocked. Loves to snuggle. , If she see's someone upset she will use her paw to pull them in for a hug. Must be around that person afterwards too. After coming to us Angel has been adopted twice - the first time was with her sister and the two girls would escape, so they were returned to us.  The second adopter was a single gentleman who deeply loved Angel but when he had to go anywhere he would lock her in a room.....which DID NOT work out.  We now know that Angel has separation anxiety and when locked in a room will destroy things. Angel is at Old Farm Kennels in Florence and you are welcome to stop in and visit with her seven days a week.  Please call first to make sure it is a good time 406 273-6837  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2024, 2:37 pm

Story
Meet our charming senior pup, who embodies the perfect blend of love and playfulness! With a heart that`s as gentle as a summer breeze, this sweet soul is selective when it comes to four-legged friends, particularly favoring the company of fellow dogs while being less enthusiastic about feline companions. Despite Boone`s age, this lovable guy still radiates a youthful spirit, ready to engage in playful antics that will surely bring a smile to your face. His goofy demeanor makes every moment spent together delightful, and while he may enjoy the occasional quiet afternoon snuggle, Boone is always up for a bit of fun. Whether it`s wagging his tail to greet you or enjoying a leisurely stroll, this affectionate companion is sure to bring joy to all who cross his path!

We are still getting to know Zango as he came in as a stray. What we do know is that he is a young, sweet lab mix who loves the love. He`s a good walker, and would make an excellent adventure companion. Zango deserves his own forever home where people love and cherish him.

Story
Sativa is a smart, funny, and gentle pup with lots of love to give! She is affectionate, curious, and playful, and will be your loyal companion. She loves to play and explore, but also knows how to relax and enjoy the quiet life. She can be a little bit independent, but always comes back for kisses and cuddles. Sativa would be the perfect fit for a household in search of a friendly and loving dog. However, please take note that she does not do well with cats, so she`ll be best in home of just canines. If you believe Sativa would be the perfect fit for your family, please inquire about adopting her today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.The following is from Albi's current foster in Pray, MT where he has been for the last several months: Albi love this boy, independent, listens when spoken to with intentions clear, smart thoughtful, happy on couch, happy to walk on leash,  but no cars nearby - they are something to chase down, I'm working on that.  Does pull when smells are off path but with strong correction verbal and leash will get back on track,  doesn’t feel good in the car - gets a little carsick.   Prefers to guard house and stay home. Food resource guarding. Working on that but feed separately and make him sit and wait for ok.  He wants to please and is sensitive. He is good with certain cats and should be a long slow introduction and check compatibility, no cats that are “runners”. Good on walks slow meet and greet with new people. Very protective of yard and door to house. Probably would be best to have no kids or at least not younger than older teens, just an intuition.  Albi really needs adults with breed knowledge and experience.  He knows Sit, Stay, Down, Shake,Come. He’s a good boy biggest concern with him is food aggression and  keeping away from counter surfing. Likes companionship, needs humans.   Looks for direction and respect and listens.  AND - just in case you might be looking for two dogs, Albi's friend Savannah who is at the same foster, is also available thru our Utah rescue friends: https://gprescuerum.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20518014#prettyPhotoVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 6:40 pm
