Caps for canines and cats
While visiting with friends Gordon and Bev Wilson and Shannon Wilson over the holidays Shannon and I were talking about the Orofino Junior High School kids doing a fundraiser for the Clearwater Humane Society. Shannon Wilson is the principal of the Junior High. Shannon came up with a great idea. Let the kids wear a cap on a specific Friday. Each child that wore a cap would have to donate $1 to the Humane Society.
Shannon’s idea not only helped raise much needed funds, but created awareness. Just as important. It teaches the children to give. Shannon is a great asset to our children and our community. Thank you, Shannon for all you do for our children in this community. Your tireless efforts will affect generations to come.
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
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.
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

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.
