The wind chill temperature is how cold people and animals feel when outside. Windchill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold. Therefore, the wind makes it FEEL much colder. If the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind is blowing at 15 mph, the wind chill is -19 degrees Fahrenheit. At this wind chill temperature, exposed skin can freeze in 30 minutes. Frostbite is an injury to the body caused by freezing body tissue. We are seeing signs of this in animals that have been left outdoors. The most susceptible parts of the body are the extremities such as paws, toes, pads, or the tip of the nose. Symptoms include a loss of feeling in the extremity and a white or pale appearance. Medical attention is needed immediately for frostbite. Warning signs include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If it is not available, begin warming the body slowly. At these extreme temperatures, please keep your animals inside! Thank you!

Goals

Helping the homeless and neglected animals of this community is number one on our list. (Check our statistics down below). As of January 23rd, we have adopted 0 dogs, 2 pups, 3 cats, and 1 kitten. In 2012, we have returned to their owners 2 dogs and 1 cat. We assisted Fish, Wildlife and Game with wounded or injured animals. It may not sound like a lot but we are proud of the numbers. The numbers tell us that the Spay/Neuter Clinics that we attend are reducing the number of animals in our community who would have probably met a horrible fate without the intervention of the Animal Control Officer, Special Services Officer and Officers of the Cut Bank Police Department.

Our animals and the community need this service and we will work tirelessly to make this the best community for animals and humans alike. We cannot do this alone and need the help of kind, caring people like yourself. Help us to write happy endings to our adorable adoptables.

Most of our animals were surrendered because their caretakers were moving, divorced, developed allergies or died. Imagine sharing your life with a wonderful four-footed friend simply by opening your heart and your home. Knowing that you have kept that friend from being euthanized which sadly, is the reality of life in any shelter situation. It is the new parent's job to provide attention, love and safe housing.
