LCHS TVPet of the Week

*PAWS-ABILITY denotes a pet that has gone to a home on a trial basis. The length of the trial basis or "Paws-ability" is based on the needs of each animal/family, but typically one to two weeks as determined by the family and LCHS adoption counselor. If a Pet of the Week is returned to the shelter we will update its status.

BaileyBailey. February 2012

Status: Ready for adoption

Bailey is a six year old Catahoula Leopard dog; the only known domesticated Native North American dog breed.

Developed by our Native American Indians and the early settlers, Catahoulas can out-work and out-hunt all other breeds of stock dogs. Originally bred to handle wild cattle and hogs in rough, remote territory, this versatile breed is all-purpose and dependable.

Unfortunately, our girl Bailey, was placed at the shelter when her parents got a divorce, and it is obvious from her 'plus-sized' body that she did not get the exercise she needs. The shelter volunteers have been taking her for daily walks to help her get back in shape.

Bailey is very loyal, loving, intelligent, and protective of "her property". This sturdy girl would thrive in a ranch or farm home (perhaps with her own herd of cattle to tend).

If you are looking for a new ranch hand, stop by Petco today, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and interview Bailey for the job. She could start immediately, so why not bring her home and put her to work? You can visit her at the LCHS, at 2112 E. Custer Ave. or call 442-1660 with questions.


 

DravenDraven. January 2012

Status: Ready for adoption

Draven has a lot on his mind and he eagerly shares his thoughts with whomever will listen. When he has no audience, Draven even talks to himself!

He is a very silly boy who came to the shelter as a stray. Black as night, with goregous emerald eyes, this kitty is two years old, friendly and affectionate.

Draven will be waiting at The Golden Girls Antique Mall today, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to shoot the breeze with you.

You can also come and chat with him at the LCHS, at 2112 E. Custer Ave or call 442-1660 and ask to speak with Draven!

 


DukeDuke. January 2012

Status: Ready for adoption

The Lewis and Clark Humane Society's award for Best Actor goes to 'Duke', for his True Grit. Brought to the shelter as a stray, this tan and white hound cross is definitely a survivor.

Like the iconic American film legend, John 'The Duke' Wayne, for whom he was named, Duke is ruggedly handsome, tough, and one cool cowboy. He has an incredibly sensitive nose which leads him on many a happy trail! Duke is intelligent and strong and would thrive in an environment that included lots of outdoor activities and plenty of exercise. He would benefit from obedience training and would excell in tracking classes.

Duke would do well in a home with children, though has yet to be tested with other dogs or cats. If you think he might be the partner for you, follow your own nose down to Lowe's today, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., where Duke is making a guest appearance. He will be mingling with his fans and signing paw-tographs. You can also call 442-1660 to arrange your private audience with The Duke, at 2112 E. Custer Avenue.


LutherLuther. January 2012

Status: Ready for adoption

This week, the LCHS honors Captian Luther Puma. Luther, distinguished member of the elite F.S.F. (Feline Special Forces), faithfully served in multiple, high-risk, clandestine campaigns, over the last decade. Luther specialized in reconnaissance and is a combatives expert.

Unfortunately, due to his participation in such rigorous activities, Luther's body has worn out. Though still mentally robust, Luther suffers from severe arthritis, a debilitating condition in which his joints are inflamed and painful. He is stiff and sore and walks with a well-earned limp.

Finding himself no longer able to fullfill his former missions, Luther seeks an understanding sanctuary in which to retire, where he would have some simple, environmental modifications, to cater to his weary body. This vet's needs are simple; a warm, draft-free, comfy bed (perhaps with a heating pad to lie on), and easy access to his food, water, and litter box.

Luther welcomes all company (of both the two and four legged variety). He would especially enjoy the company of another veteran, with a warm lap for him to sit on, since he enjoys swapping tales and reminiscing about the good ole days.

Come down to Birds and Beasleys today, beteen 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., and show your respect to this disabled vet! You can also stop by the LCHS, at 2112 E. Custer Avenue, or call 442-1660 with questions.


SheebieSheebie. January 2012

Status: Ready for adoption

What does a good old dog do when her bones are weary and tired from living, yet in her time of need, has found herself abandoned by those she served so faithfully?

Sheebie was brought to the shelter as a stray, and never claimed. Right now she should be spending her sunset years in the lap of a friend who appreciates that she simply needs a little understanding and a lap to curl up in and dream her doggie dreams. Instead, this 10 year old Grande Damme, the oldest dog at the shelter, sits sadly in her kennel watching the younger dogs and puppies come and go.

Sheebie is a well-mannered, Border Collie cross, who is smart and an excellent listener. She enjoys just sitting outside smelling the fresh air.

Surely there must be some kind soul out there who would make room in their heart and home, so that one, chubby old girl could live the rest of her days with comfort and love! Her prospective owner should have the ability to give her frequent potty breaks, as her bladder is as old as her body. Sheebie is sponsored, which means all of the adoption fees are paid for; to adopt her, all you need to do is come to the Base Camp today, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to drive Ms. Sheebie to her new home. If you can’t make it between these times, just stop in and pick her up at the LCHS, 2112 E. Custer Ave. Call 442-1660 with questions.


EmmaEmma. January 2012

Status: Ready for adoption

Six months ago, Emma, was brought to the shelter as a pregnant stray and she gave birth while in foster care. She was an awesome mother and now it's time that dear little Emma finds her forever home!

Tonight, as you ring in the new year and are planning your New Year's Resolutions, perhaps adopting this darling little girl should be one of them!

Emma is ready for a new beginning. She has been spayed, has all her shots, is very people-oriented, and is box-trained. She is incredibly sweet and, though she is still shy about being held, she does tolerate it. Emma is very smart and amusing! She can open doors and is extremely playful. She loves chasing lasers. She is good with cats and cat-friendly canines.

The shelter is closed today, and will be open again to the public January 3rd. Stop by then and make sure Emma has a happy new year in her very own home! Call 442-1660 with questions.


TigerTiger. December 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Make my wish come true.....all I want for Christmas, is you!

'I don't want a lot for Chrismas, there is just one thing I need! I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know!' This is the tune Tiger is humming today, Christmas Eve, as he waits at the shelter for you to bring him home.

This Christmas angel is a brindle American Kennel Dog, who is well-mannered and sweet as a sugar plum. He has been a very good boy all year, yet, sadly, here he is, stuck in a kennel. Though Tiger is appreciative of being warm and safe and of the good care the workers give him, he longs to be in his own home for the holidays.

He was brought to the shelter in October, as a stray, and has become the star of the shelter's play groups. Tiger gets along with all the different doggie personalities and is a social butterfly. He is patient, does great on a leash, and loves to go for walks. Tiger would do great in a home with children of all ages.

The shelter is closed today, but be sure to stop by the shelter (2112 E. Custer Ave) on Tuesday and bring home the star of your holiday season!

Merry Christmas from the Lewis and Clark Humane Society! 442-1660.


ChristianChristian. December 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Though in the wild, a lion's mane makes him look stonger and more frightening to his enemies, that is not the case with this week's featured feline, Christian. He is calm, friendly, and anything but ferocious.

Christian's impressive mane reminded shelter workers of the lion starring in the movie 'Born Free', which is how he got his name. He exudes feline charisma, and has been the reigning King of the Cat room since arriving at the shelter as a stray in June.

This big cat would do well in a home with other cats, cat- friendly dogs, and kids over the age of 6. Why go all the way to Africa on safari, when you can stop at Outside Inn, today, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and meet this magnificent King of Beasts? Christian can also be seen at the LCHS, 2112 E. Custer Ave. Call 442-1660 with questions.


AmeliaAmelia. December 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Like Amelia Earhart, female pilot renowed for her solo flights and bravery, adventurous Amelia is seeking an owner who is as curious and daring as she is!

This 8 month old, spayed, black lab pup loves to investigate the world around her. She is energetic and active and would make an ideal co-pilot for your own explorations. Amelia needs obedience training, as she is very young, and it would help cement her bond with her new family.

She would do great in a home with children at least 10 years old. In your travels today, stop in to Bob Ward's, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. where Amelia will be waiting for you to make her dreams take flight.

She can also be visited at the LCHS, at 2112 E. Custer Ave. Call 442-1660 to make your reservation.

Bring your pet and have your photo taken with Santa. Admission is FREE.


 

HaydenHayden. December 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Hayden has been a very good kitty this year and all he wants for Christmas is a family of his own! This striking boy came into the shelter as a stray in April and has been waiting in the crowded cat room for you to bring him home, ever since!

He is an endearing two year old who would gladly share his forever home with children, other cats, and even a cat-friendly dog. He would enjoy nothing more than to keep you company as you wait up for Santa Claus! He will happily snuggle with you and add enjoyment and companionship to your long winter evenings.

Make your holiday season brighter by welcoming this furry bundle of joy into your home! Hayden will be at PetCo today, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. You can also visit him at the Lewis and Clark Humane Society, at 2112 E. Custer Avenue, or call 442-1660 with questions.


 

Mary JaneMary Jane. November 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

It is once again the time of year for counting our blessings! When Thanksgiving is mentioned, images of football, feasting, and spending time with family and friends come to mind.

It is the start of the season of celebration and Mary Jane, a sweet little Lab/Border Collie mix, would delight in joining in your family's festivities! Though she can be shy at first, when Mary Jane gets to know someone, she is a 'hugger', who lovingly wraps her arms around a person's neck, resting her head on their shoulder.

Mary Jane is a very smart two year old, who gets along well with other dogs and older children. Please consider sharing your bounty with Mary Jane! You will be rewarded with the immeasurable blessings of doggie love! Stop by the shelter at 2120 E. Custer Ave, and bring Mary Jane home for the holidays! Call 442-1660 with questions.


StanleyStanley. November 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

The world-renown tool manufacturer of the same name, has nothing on the LCHS's Stanley! Our 'handy cat' has the right tool for just about any household task! He features high-visibility green eyes with night vision, the latest in quick-response technology, and a heavy (11 pound), durable body. He comes equipped with 18 retractable blades, which are synony-'mouse' with top-of-the-line rodent extermination.

Stanley is level-headed, weather-resistant, and requires no batteries. He is approximately one year old and came to us with only half of a tail; an injury sustained during some type of a construction accident, no doubt!

Stanley meets/exceeds the shelter's specifications for daily household use and will make someone the purrrfect companion. He could tolerate a mellow dog, other cats, or children older than toddlers on his work crew!

Home improvement enthusiasts, while you are out and about today, completing those winterization tasks, stop by Lasso the Moon, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and add Stanley to your tool kit!

You can also visit him at the shelter, at 2112 E. Custer Avenue. Call 442-1660 to have your questions answered.


LinusLinus. November 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Like many movie heroes, Linus has a dashing scar on his nose, which he acquired before he was brought to the LCHS, as a stray, in September. We believe it ads character to his good looks!

This robust, powerful Rottweiler cross, is ready and willing to make someone an outstanding companion! Linus is extremely friendly to people and other dogs. Since he gets overly excited when he sees a cat, and may cause harm, Linus' forever home must not have any feline family members.

Obedience training is a must for this boy and he thrives on plenty of exercise. Linus would enjoy nothing more than to run along side a bicycle ridden by his owner, or to play in the woods or open country. He requires minimal grooming. If you are interested in owning an all-around good dog, Linus is the ideal choice.

Outreach will be held at Hastings today, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. where many great animals will be waiting to meet you. Linus can be seen at the shelter, at 2112 E. Custer Ave. Be sure to call 442-1660 if you have questions.


 

AidanAidan. November 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

Upon looking at Aidan, dapper with his tuxedo markings, shiny coat, and good health, one could never tell he came to the shelter cruelly injured, just a few short months ago.

This poor kitty suffered from horrific wounds that required extensive veterinary expertise and dedicated aftercare from shelter workers. Despite the heinous treatment he had received by human hands, Aidan is a remarkable example of the innate goodness and forgiveness of the animal spirit. He has made a full recovery, is vibrant and loving. He enjoys snuggling in laps and being brushed.

Aidan is looking for a champion who will make sure he never gets hurt again. He enjoys the company of other cats and would adjust to friendly canine companionship. If you have room in your heart and home for Aidan and will keep him safe, stop by Rock Hand today, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. He can also be visited at 2112 E. Custer Ave. Call 442-1660 and have your questions answered.


ThorThor. October 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

Thor, true to both his name and his breed characteristics, is a protector! This mighty, 115 pound dog is an Anatolian Shepherd, a breed that was developed over 6,000 years ago, in what is now Turkey. They are best known for their very, very loyal posessiveness of their home and family. Anatolian Shepherds are patient and protective of 'their' children.

This breed is very hardy and can withstand harsh climates; Thor would, no doubt, love the Montana winter!

Anatolians are extremely intelligent dogs, but may respond slowly to commands due to their rather stubborn 'attitude'. Thor is very active and will need a large, fenced yard. He does know his basic commands, but will need a good and strong trainer to continue his education.

Thor is just two years old, and, since the life expectency for Anatolian Shepards is between 12 and 15 years, so, he will be a member of some lucky family for a long time.

If this friendly, happy fellow sounds like he might be the perfect addition to your own family, why not stop by the Base Camp, today, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and introduce yourself? He loves to play catch and would be happy to play with you!

Stop by the LCHS, at 2112 E. Custer Ave, or call 442-1660, to set up a play date.


SarahSarah. October 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Pay it Forward:After having surgery to remove her right eye, which had ruptured, Sarah lost the will to live and her life began to wane. She stopped eating and drinking altogether. Placed into a foster home with a grim prognosis, Sarah's foster mother spent countless hours giving her drops of water with a syringe. Eventually, Sarah began to respond to the loving dedication being shown to her. Gradually, she was able to eat small amounts of canned food placed into the side of her mouth.

Against all odds, Sarah has made a miraculous recovery. She is now medicine free; eating and drinking on her own.

She's a survivor with a new lease on life, and a mission. Sarah is ready to share her own love and dedication to a person in need of some loving attention. She shamelessly begs to give and receive attention, and adores being stroked and brushed. She is quite chatty, looking one directly into the eyes while she shares her day and listens as you share yours.

If you know someone who needs a special friend to help combat loneliness or winter time blues, this kitty would be perfect for them! Sarah will be waiting at the Ghost Art Gallery, today, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Finding her the perfect home is so important to Sarah's foster family, that they will pay all adoption fees for the right adoptee. Call 442-1660 with questions.


SashaSasha. October 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

Sasha's gloriously goofy ears are perfect for whispering secrets into! In fact, they are the source of endless amusement, because they flop in a different direction each time she moves her head.

She is an excellent listener and never repeats what she has been told. Sasha is a one year old, spayed pit bull, who is good with most dogs and kids.

Though she is smart and eager to learn, her new owners should take her to obedience school, since she has not had much training.

Today, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Sasha will be at Petco, waiting to give you an earful of reasons why you should take her home! You can also stop by the shelter, at 2112 E. Custer Ave. and visit or call 442-1660.


AntoneAntone. October 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

Throughout history, the black cat has been a symbol of both good and bad luck, of mystery and magic, and has become the iconic symbol of Halloween. This week's black beauty is Antone, a 3 year old, neutered male. He is long and lean and exudes a definite air of mystery; perfect for this spooky time of year!

Antone was abandoned at a rest area near Butte and brought to the shelter at the end of December. Sadly, research has shown that black cats are the least-adopted pet in U.S. animal shelters. Brightly colored cats tend to catch the interest of potential adoptees.

Do not be deterred by this winsome cat's color! Antone is affectionate and an all-around excellent pet. He would do well with children who are past the toddler stage, other cats, and feline-friendly dogs. He has been de-clawed and can't defend himself, so he needs to be an indoor-only cat.

Antone will be at Sole Sisters today, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., where he will be waiting for that special someone, who is not color blind, to bring him home, forever. Antone can also be visited at the LCHS at 2112 E. Custer Ave. Call 442-1660 with questions.


LadyLady. October 2011

Status: PAWS-ABILITY

Gorgeous, female Black LabX seeks love, companionship and a committed relationship!

If you are lonely and looking for love too, meet The Lady! This little girl has been at the shelter for almost six months and definitely needs a home of her own. Her previous owner did not work with her, so she does not know her obedience commands. However, she is willing to please and would love to go to school! Lady gets along well with other dogs but has not been tested with cats. Younger children do make her nervous so, her if forever home has kids, they should be older

With some TLC, this Lady could be a star! Stop and meet her today, at the Lewis and Clark Library, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Or you can visit her at the LCHS, 2110 E. Custer Ave. If you have questions, don't hesitate to call! 442-1660

Hercules

Hercules. July 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Like the famous God of Greek mythology he is named after, Hercules believes it is his job to keep the world safe from a variety of 'monsters'. Due to this strong, 'warrior' instinct, Hercules must be the only pet in his forever home!

If yours is an adult household and your life is missing something, perhaps you need to find a new hero! Hercules, a strong, handsome, two year old pitbull, might be just what you're looking for! He does well with people and would make a sweet, charming companion for active folks who enjoy hiking, long walks and cuddling. Hercules knows all of his basic obedience training and loves playing with stuffed toys.

While you are at Starbucks this morning getting your morning java, you should make his acquaintance (between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.). Your new friendship could be the stuff legends are made of!

Kane

Kane. July 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

S.O.S.!!

The LCHS's Cat room is literally full to capacity! We are asking community members to make room in their hearts and homes and adopt a cat (or two!), and help ease the overcrowdedness. To encourage adoptions, the shelter is offering all cats for $20 each, for the remainder of July.

These close quarters are making our pet of the week, Kane, stir-crazy! He is restless, fretful, and absolutely pining away for some breathing room! He has been pacing and crying and is miserable! Kane is a dashing gray and white two year old male, who loves to give and receive affection.

It is imperitive that Kane be placed in his own home,as soon as possible, to save his sanity! Please stop by Pet Co today, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and see if you can put an end to one little cat's suffering! Shelter staff do not think he can stand the confinement much longer! If you can't make it to Pet Co, you can welcome Kane or any of his MANY friends into your home by stopping by the shelter, at 2112 E. Custer Avenue. Call 442-1660 with questions.

Please help us make a difference to the misfortunate animals in our area!

 


Mickey

Mickey. July 2011

Mickey is a happy, affectionate 2 ½ year old Newfoundland cross. He knows all of his obedience training and is very treat motivated. He loves other dogs and kids and would make a great family dog. He needs room to run and lots of exercise! He would make an excellent running partner! His new home should not have any cats or chickens/ducks as they are too big of a temptation for him.

While you are out enjoying the sunshine today, why not stop by Hastings, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and meet him? He would love to go to the lake with you! You can also see him at the LCHS, 2112 E. Custer Ave. Call 442-1660 with questions.


Gus and Bear

Gus and Bear. July 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

These two brothers would add sparkle to any Fourth of July celebration! Gus and Bear came to the LCHS six months ago and are seeking their Independence; a home of their own!

They both have radiant personalities and are between 4 and 5 years old. Though Gus is a giant black cat, at 22 pounds, he is more of a mellow fellow than a firecracker!

ear, a big hearted grey, will put his arms around your neck and shower you with affection. He has luminous green eyes and plenty of extra toes on each foot.

Cody

Cody. June 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

Though marked like a tiger, Cody is as gentle as a lamb! This striking dog is a five year old brindle lab cross who was brought to the shelter after his owner passed away in March. He is lonely and is missing having his own person and home!

Cody is very loving, eager to please, and enjoys going on walks and hikes. He absolutely loves to play fetch! Cody would be able to live with other dogs and cats in his new home, is housebroken, and is obedience trained.

Loki

Loki. June 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

For centuries, cats have been associated with a wealth of superstitions; bad and good. However,the Lewis and Clark Humane Society believes cats bring good luck, companionship, and many blessings into the lives of their owners, and since hundreds of cats are cared for at the shelter, each year, they know what they're talking about!

June is national 'Adopt a Cat' month, and this week's special is on the most mysterious, of all colors; the blacks! All black cats are selling for only $20.00 each!

Loki, a bashful, long-haired beauty, is this week's star! She is 3 years old and was brought to the shelter last December, as a stray. Loki is shy and reserved, and staff feel that she needs a quiet home, where she can relax and come out of her shell. She is good with other cats and wouldn't mind the companionship of a small, feline-friendly dog.

Since many Helena citizens will be "Strutting their Mutts" today, at the LCHS's annual fundraising event, interested prospective new owners can visit Loki at the shelter, at 2112 E. Custer Avenue, or call 442-1660 with questions.

Stop by Pioneer Park, and watch the fun! Registration for "Strutt Your Mutt" starts at 8:45 a.m. and the walk starts at 10:00 a.m. Two thousand LOCAL homeless, abused, and/or abandoned animals were cared for by the LCHS last year! Looking forward to seeing you there! Remember, every dollar helps!

 


Chrome

Chrome. June 2011

Status: ADOPTED!

Chrome is a powerhouse! This striking, 3 year old blue pitbull has brains and brawn. As is typical of his breed, Chrome is sweet and loves people, but is often hard-headed. For these reasons, his new owner(s) also need to be strong, physically and mentally.

Due to a past incident in which Chrome had a conflict with another dog, he needs to be the only pet in his home. He enjoys mountain hikes, playing ball, and tug-o-war

Chrome knows all basic obedience commands, but is powerful and pulls hard on the leash. He would benefit from further training and leash work. If you admire this breed and are up to the challenge, consider Chrome!

Stop by the Lewis and Clark Humane Society, at 2112 E. Custer Avenue and take him for a walk, or call 442-1660 with questions.

 


Ace

Ace. May 2011

Status:ADOPTED!

As you can see from his photo, Ace is anxiously waiting for someone to come play with him!

Brought to the shelter last December, as a stray, this energetic, exuberant fellow is ready for your summer camping and hiking adventures. Besides being a fun-loving, affectionate companion, Ace could be your secret weapon –your ‘Ace in the Hole’- to help you jumpstart that ‘get fit for summer’ exercise plan you’ve been putting off!

He is a clever, 3 year old neutered, male Border Collie, with one brown eye and one blue eye. Ace needs an active home with no cats and children old enough to not be knocked over in enthusiasm. He learns quickly and has been assessed as a good candidate for someone who would like to try agility classes. Stop by and meet Ace today, from 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., at the Prickly Pear Don’t Fence Me In Walk, which starts in downtown Helena. You could take him for a test-run!

Andrea

Andrea. January 2011

Status: Ready for adoption

Andrea is a sweet, playful Lab/Chow cross, who came into the shelter as a stray in October. She is spayed and approximately two years old. Andrea loves kids and likes to give kisses. She knows how to sit, and will come when called, but could use some work on her obedience training. This little lady would benefit from an active family, with whom she could go for walks and burn some energy! She has too much of an interest in cats to live with them in a home environment. She loves to cuddle up next to you; the perfect companion for a cold winter's night! If there is an empty space on your couch and in your heart, stop by PetCo today and let her fill the niche! If you can't make it today, Andrea would be happy to visit with you at the Lewis and Clark Humane Society, 2112 E. Custer Ave. Call 442-1660 with questions.
