HELP YOUR PET FIND ITS WAY HOME!

Sadly, statistics indicate that missing pets rarely find their way home. Approximately 10 million pets are lost or stolen in the United States each year and more than 6 million winds up in the nation’s animal shelters.  Given that dogs and cats in shelters without ID are much less likely to be reunited with their owners, identification is the only way these lost pets will find their way home.

The Bitter Root Humane Association wants to reduce those sad numbers and in celebration of “National Tag Day” will be offering reduced prices on micro-chipping and engraved ID Tags.  Saturday, April 1st from noon to 4pm, the public may purchase engraved ID tags for $5 and have their pet micro-chipped for $10…or both, with no appointment needed!  For your pets safety please have all dogs leashed and cats crated when entering the building.

Today and every day, make sure your pets are equipped in the event they get separated from you.  It can be truly heartbreaking to lose a pet, but by tagging and micro-chipping you are more likely to reunite with your four-legged family member! Visit BRHA’s “Pet Tag Day”, 262 Fairgrounds Road, Hamilton and turn “lost” into “found” for your beloved pet!

A PLACE TO REFLECT - New BRHA Pet Memorial Garden

The Bitter Root Humane Association is beginning planning for a new Pet Memorial Garden.  It will be located south of the horse corral and east of our Road Department neighbor.  The design has not been finalized but will include gravel, large boulders, cement statues, wind chimes and pathways made of memorial bricks to honor loved and lost pets.  It will be appropriately fenced for privacy and quiet contemplation.

Memorial bricks can be purchased for $125.00 each and the vast majority of that is considered a donation to BRHA.  You order your brick(s) through BRHA, we will order the bricks which will be sent to us, stored and installed when the pathways have been created.

This is a wonderful way to remember your pets while benefitting the lives of our guests who will soon become members of another loving family.

Order forms are available by clicking the button below,  in-person at the shelter or by emailing a request to [email protected]
