Sunday 3/2 - These two were dropped off again today by the Sheriff…
Hopefully the person that claimed them for the owner last time, will see this!
We are closed today. Employees are there til 12 and again 4 to 8:30pm.

Update : It took a village, but the owners were identified. The pups were picked up and I can only pray these two stay put from now on. 🙏
***************************************
I believe these two dogs belong to someone that lives by the animal shelter. If you know the owners name and phone number please call the Dedman at 622-5657. Thank you.

2/27 UPDATE -A Happy Ending 💕 Yoko is on her way back to her roots in St George. The RSQ Shelter, https://rsqutah.org/ (check it out - it’s amazing) wants this sweet kitty back. Today we delivered her to Great Falls airport to meet her chaperone, Robin, a part of the animal transport network out there.
They will provide her with a paradise of a cat room until she finds a lucky home of her own.

2/18 UPDATE Plot twist… We reached the *original* shelter of Yoko Ono in St George, Utah . It may be that her sister, Marilyn, may also be in the neighborhood. Both were sent out into the world when their owner, in Mesquite, NV, passed away about a year ago. No one knows how Yoko got to Fort Benton, but it is possible her sister Marilyn, may be here as well! Does this black and white kitty look familar to anyone?
The original owner is sending tranport for Yoko Ono but curious if Marilyn may have been seen in Fort Benton as well?
She would like to keep the siblings together if this is the case.
Please contact us if you have any info on Marilyn. 406-622-5657 Thank you!

2/17 UPDATE: Per her chip, (which we could not read, but Highwood Veterinary could), her name is Yoko Ono and her owner info is private. We have sent that company our contact info, but not heard anything back so far.

Beautiful all black kitty found on 17th and Franklin. She’s been out in the cold for at least 2 days, and so friendly, someone must be missing her! 406.622.5657

And then there is Freya… she is the cutest. What a personality! She is so smart, has great recall, plays fetch like she is in the big leagues!
She takes a minute to warm up, but once she imprints on you, you are her person.
Loyal, loving, sassy and you are going to have so much fun with this little girl!
She is 4 years old, and what I imagine a corgi / red heeler would look like.
Stop by, play fetch and see if you can make her yours! ❤️
Spayed, UTD on shots, etc.

Today we are doing a lot of one on one with our pups, they need some TLC!
This is Lotus, she is always happy, loving, playful, and beautiful!
She is food motivated and can sit, shake and lay-down. She’s an easy-keeper!
She wants a home so bad, as she has been here since November and her attitude is still sweet and she has not given up hope yet!
She is almost 2, and has manners, super loyal, and so smart. Loves to run, walk, do tricks, and is super mellow when she’s not having kennel distractions!
If you’re looking for an only pet (no cats, dogs), she’d love to meet you! Great with humans… Full grown, 40 pounds of fun!

***ADOPTED! Woo hoo!!**

Meet Little Rugby!!
Rugby is so smart, so well behaved, such a love!
He was dropped off as a stray last week. He has a clean bill of health from the vet, had his first round of shots, dewormed, and will be an easy keeper!
We believe he is about 12 to 14 weeks old.
Can sit for his treats, loves people, and will be EASY to potty train, as he already does not like to potty in his kennel.
He is a mixed breed, probably going to be a 45-50 pounder when full grown. He needs someone who will invest the time to
train him to his full potential. Food motivated and is a “chill” puppy!
Stop by and meet the little guy!Applications available at the Dedman Shelter.

We have a stray puppy that was brought in. If you can identify the puppy with a location AND a photo of it, we will be able to help you. Call 406-622-5657. Impound charges will apply.
If no one claims the puppy this weekend, it will be up for adoption Monday. 😊

Do you know who this beautiful pup may belong to?
He has a chip that may be used to identify if you know the number.
