A list to keep

   For the people out there that have animals. This is a list you will want to keep. This list is not all plants that are hazardous, but rather the most common plants not to have if you have animals. These plants can have intense systemic and/or gastrointestinal effects. Spring planting is already starting. If you are considering plants for your yard you can ask your veterinarian if that plant is animal safe. If you suspect your animal has ingested plant material it’s best to call your vet and check to see if that plant is safe. Your vet will also let you know what symptoms to look for. Always the rule of thumb is better safe than sorry.

   We are looking for land to be donated. We need a shelter. We take in from 300-400 dogs a year. We also take in hundreds of cats and kittens. Because we don’t have a facility to allow us more room, we have to turn away animals. None of us in this wonderful community want that.

   Again, thank you for all your continued support. The animals are allowed to live because of your generosity.

Our policy on strays

   All stray dogs and cats are vaccinated upon arrival for their safety and the safety of the other dogs and cats. They are also neutered and spayed on the sixth (6) day. All costs are the responsibility of the owner claiming the dog. Strays are held for five (5) days and then are for adoption.

Wish list

   Please save blankets for us as the critters love to snuggle in at night. We need nylabones for the dogs and toys for our kittens right now.

   You can drop all donations of food, toys, blankets, etc. at Orofino Builders Supply. Steve and Leila Crockett continue to be animal lovers and great supporters. Thank you for thinking of us!

   Remember, your donations are tax deductible.

   Our mailing address is: Clearwater Humane Society, P.O. Box 2063, Orofino, ID 83544.

For adoption:
By appointment only

   #2 Two 14 week old, female Black Lab/Retriever puppies. Wonderful temperaments.

   #3 “Molly” – 5 year old Airdale, dances for toys.

   We also have other cats and kittens not pictured. Please call for information!

   For any information on any of our animals, call 476-9823. Please leave your name, telephone number, why you are calling and speak clearly and slowly.

Lost and found

   #1 Found on Hwy 12 at hatchery – has been seen there for 2 weeks.      

   If you find a stray dog, please contain the dog and call. Many times I get a call from someone that has a stray but by the time I get there the person calling says the dog ran off. Please contain in a yard or tie the dog until I get there. We want to keep these poor dogs safe and either find their owners or get them a wonderful lifetime home.

   All stray dogs and cats are vaccinated and wormed upon arrival for their safety and the safety of the other dogs and cats. They are also neutered and spayed after a five (5) day waiting period. All costs are the responsibility of the owner claiming the dog or cat. Strays are held for five days and then are up for adoption.

   If you recognize any of the above strays and know who the owner is, please call. We want to get these wonderful dogs and cats back to their homes. Call 476-9823.
