Clearwater Humane Society News, Sherrie Chambers

On Saturday, May 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. our Clearwater County Sheriffs Department, US Army Corps of Engineers Dworshak Dam, Idaho Parks and Recreation, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and other generous local organizations will be hosting this extravaganza.

There will be a free life jacket exchange for kids. The kids will need to bring their clean, usable life jackets that they have outgrown to exchange for one that fits perfectly! Other generous local organizations will be there to make this event fun for our kids.

There will be all kinds of outdoor activities and water safety games...with prizes. There will also be a PWC (personal water craft) simulator for kids to try. A dive trailer and diving equipment will be on display-sponsored by the Clearwater County Sheriffs Department.

You can also get a free boat safety inspection – a great opportunity to be sure we’re all ready for a safe boating season.

Clearwater Humane Society will be serving hot dogs, soda and other yummy things. The hosts are also working on having upbeat music by local young musicians.

Please come and enjoy all the fun. This is a great way to start our summer. For more information or questions, call the Dworshak Dam Visitor's Center at 208-476-1255.

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.

***We need large stainless steel bowls for water.*** We also need treats for training. Small milk bones and other tasty treats are great.

**Please donate kitty/cat food.** We have 9 cats/kittens now. Dry kitten food, Purina kitten food is ok. Friskies canned food, ground only, is also greatly needed! Please help us help them.***

We really need canned and dry cat/kitten food and litter right now. We also need small ceramic bowls for the kitten and cat food. We also need covered litter pans.

We need towels to bathe our dogs and cats. Please don’t throw your old towels away—we will put them to good use.

***We need nylabones and tug toys for the dogs/puppies and toys for our cats/kittens right now.***

Went missing on April 30 in the Canoe Camp area of Hwy. 12. Female, spayed, six year old cat, mostly white coat with black/brown/tan patches. Has blue eyes. Not wearing a collar. If you have seen this cat, please call 476-9823.

If you find a stray dog, please contain the dog or cat, if you feel it is safe to do so, and then 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.
