Here's something you don't see everyday. A horse with a prosthetic leg. The Washington Post has posted a beautiful slideshow with captions. In one of the photo captions it reads: "... Her original family never came to see her and didn't want her back. It recommend euthanasia, a procedure frequently done on horses that are badly injured." Don't let the original owner's attitude scare you away from watching this slideshow. Molly, the horse, visits children in hospitals, elderly people in nursing homes and wounded military personel. She brings comfort and inspiration to all. She is enjoying her meaningful life!
Missy
Description: DLH Color: black Female spayed, 4 Yr, OWNER TURN IN Notes: Poor Missy ended up at the shelter after someone in her household developed allergies. She probably misses her old home; getting treats from family members, coming in and out as she pleased, and snuggling up on the kids' beds at night. But she is ready for a new family to spoil her! She just has to wait for the right one to come along. Feline-ality-(Green) I'm the Leader of the Band!

Marley
Description: Lab Color: yellow Female spayed, 4 Yr OWNER TURN IN Notes: Marley got her name before the movie came out. That means she probably helped her previous owners pick out their reading material. Our Marley likes kids and dogs, but she has one big problem. She doesn't like cats and she killed chickens! But, if you're allergic to cats and live in the city then we have the perfect dog for you. Marley! You can adopt Marley at the Bitterr Root Humane Association or see more of their pets online at montanapets.org.

BIGfoot
Description: DLH Color: grey Male neutered, Adult STRAY, shelter dog kennel Notes: We have an outside dog kennel off our parking lot, and we were quite surprised to arrive one morning and find this very big, friendly, matted cat sitting in it! We named him Bigfoot not because we think he looks like Sasquatch, but because he has huge feet -- no extra toes, just really large paws! We've shaved off the worst of the matts, and he's now ready to share his friendly personality with everyone. You can adopt BIGfoot at Missoula Animial Control, 6700 Butler Creek Rd, (406) 541-7387, or see more of their pets online at montanapets.org.
Dogs. You just have to love them. Even if they're like mine and can't dance!
Phelps
Description: Brittany X Color: gold/white Male neutered, Older Adult STRAY, Hwy 93 N, Missoula Notes:This older gentleman is looking for a quiet home with lots of sunshine and comfortable places to snooze. He'd also appreciate a water feature; he tries like crazy to swim in his water bowl, so no telling what he could accomplish in a bigger venue! You can adopt Phelps at Missoula Animal Control, or see more of their pets online at montanapets.org.
