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!

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. 😊

Well that was fast! Axel was claimed already!

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.

Yesterday was a whirlwind of puppy adoptions!
Little Star was the first one to go on Thursday, then yesterday was little Noelle, Joy and Holly!
I only captured a couple pics as it all happened so fast!
Good luck to these little beauties. They all are blessed with really qualified Boxer loving families!

Meet Miss Daisy!

The beautiful girl just arrived and she is a well trained, fetching guru and hunting dog!
She is registered with the AKC and is a sweetheart. Her drawback is that she does not get along with other dogs and probably not good with cats. We don’t know about children.
She probably needs to be an only child. 😉

She is 4 years old and weighs 65 pounds.
Vaccinated, spayed and ready for an active home!

OWNER CLAIMED THESE TWO!
Note to folks- please get them spayed and neutered, get them chipped, get them a collar with your phone number please. 🙏

Help! Does anyone in this area know these dogs?
They were brought to the Dedman with a face full of porcupine quills! Local vet’s can’t help tonight, only ER in Great Falls. 😖
Please share so we can find the owners.

And then this happened!
Puppies!
These little goof balls are all vaccinated and will be available for adoption on Thursday the 26th!
(Usually not a good idea to adopt out puppies for Christmas… best to put some thought into the life of the commitment 😉)

In the meantime can you come up with some cute names for these 10 week old little ladies? They are a Boxer / English Bulldog mix according to the owner.

#1) all white
#2) white with black/brown spots on an ear only
#3) white with brown spots
#4) white with black spots
