Missoula Animal Control will host an adoption event this Saturday, Oct. 19, at Subaru of Missoula, located at 5175 Expressway, from 12 to 4 p.m. The shelter will have dogs, cats and kittens available and ready to go home. The event is part of October’s Subaru Loves Pets Month, when a local Subaru retailer partners with a local shelter to help animals find loving homes.
Anyone who attends the event will have their named entered to win a gift basket with animal apparel, gift cards, pet toys, and treats from local businesses. Those who adopt an animal in the month of October get a bonus entry. There are currently a dozen dogs and 15 cats available for adoption.
Missoula Animal Control broke ground on its shelter remodel and expansion project at 6700 Butler Creek Road in early September. Shelter officials say now is a great time to adopt and clear the shelter ahead of the months-long remodel.
“Construction can be difficult and stressful on the animals,” said Holli Hargrove, Animal Control manager. “Finding homes for all of the animals as we start building a new and improved shelter would be wonderful.”
Those who aren’t looking to adopt a pet right now can still help the animals by donating to the shelter.
Missoula Animal Control is open to the public every Monday through Friday from 12 to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 12 to 4 p.m.
