The 18th Annual Bow Wow Bash will be held on Saturday, October 19th at the Libby VFW. The event is a fundraiser for Kootenai Pets for Life (KPFL). Many local area businesses and individuals have made generous donations giving a wide variety of items to bid on for this year’s Bash.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for everyone to come in and browse the auction items and place bids on silent auction items. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. with the live auction to follow. The cost is $20 for one or $35 for two people. Tickets are available from KPFL volunteers or call 406-293-6801 for tickets. Please purchase tickets by October 14 so the caterers have the correct number for those attending. You must have a ticket to enjoy the meal which will be catered by Raeanne Canavan this year.
Kootenai Pets for Life is a non-profit, all volunteer organization providing shelter, assisting the community with spay and neuter, foster care, veterinary assistance and education. 100% of money raised or donated goes to the care and feeding of the animals and maintaining the shelter. Every animal that comes in to the shelter is spayed or neutered and is up-to-date on vaccinations before being released for adoption. Kootenai Pets for Life was started in 2001 by a group of concerned citizens to provide a humane, no-kill shelter for the stray and abandoned pet population of the Libby/Troy area. The organization IRS Employer Identification Number is 81-0543796.
KPFL has adopted out over 3,600 pets and facilitated the spaying or neutering 8,250 pets. Microchipping was started in 2012 and every pet leaving the shelter is microchipped for easy identification. The spay or neuter of feral cats was started in July of 2011 and over 750 feral cats have been spayed or neutered.
As an all-volunteer organization, KPFL is always looking for volunteers. Anyone that loves animals is welcome to come visit the shelter and find out what Kootenai Pets for Life does and learn how they can join in and help. The shelter is at 125 County Shop Road in Libby. Shelter hours are from 10:00 A.M. - 12:30 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday when volunteers are at the shelter doing their work. The shelter is closed to visitors on Tuesday and Thursday. Sundays hours are from 11 A.M. - 2 P.M. Other hours are available by appointment by calling 406-293-KPFL(5735).
