TWO SWEET SENIORS LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME

Sweet little Ginger & Rusty are sisters who have lived together their entire lives and, unfortunately, their human mom had to go into assisted living due to health issues. These two are now looking for a forever home TOGETHER - there is no way we could ever separate these girls at this point in their lives!

Ginger is the larger of the two, she goes about 14# and Rusty was the "runt" of the litter and weighs in at about 9#. They have never been around other dogs and don't really seem interested in "hanging" with others of their kind. Never been around cats or children for that matter. Both are wonderfully housebroken and can be left for hours at a time with no destruction or accidents in the house. Ginger and Rusty are also crate trained and happily sleep together in their crate every night.

These girls are creatures of routine! They love their consistant schedule (most dogs do) and will let their owner know when it is time for feeding and when it is time to snuggle! Ginger is more energetic than her sister and will fetch a ball until she drops. She will come up in your lap for a quick snuggle but then she is off to fulfill her agenda for the day. Rusty is content to just lay on your lap all day and get lovin's - she is the Princess of the two and finds chasing a ball to be just plain silly. When approached, Rusty will roll over and let you give her belly rubs.

They are both in excellent health and just had teeth cleanings in October. They are still active but also spend a majority of their time snoozing and relaxing. Gotta love those seniors! Both are spayed and up to date on shots. The perfect new home for these girls would be one with no other dogs or animals, no children and a fenced in yard. We are under the gun with needing to find a home for these sweeties by 2/7/11 - please send any interested parties our way! Ginger & Rusty are so deserving of a great new home where they can live out the rest of their years with never ending love.  Please call us at 406.323.3687 or drop us an email at wschurch@midrivers.com

ONE DAILY "CLICK" IS ALL IT TAKES!

We here at the Rimrock Humane Society know and understand the difficulties of these tough economic times ... perhaps you could say that we actually comprehend it better than most because it effects us on so many levels.  Not only with the slow down of donations but the continuing rise of animals being surrendered due to affordability issues - it is truly a double edged sword for any non-profit animal welfare organization.

So, when an opportunity comes along that costs YOU absolutely nothing but can award us "mucho denaro" ... well, we'd be silly not to share it right?  That is what we thought ...

The Animal Rescue Site and Petfinder.com sponsor (3) Shelter Challenges every year – these contests are where people can vote for their favorite shelter and that shelter will, in turn, win some very much needed “cash” (if they get enough votes for the specific category).  In the past, the RHS has won the “most popular shelter” in the state of Montana twice which secured us a prize of $1,000/ea which we applied to our very successful spay/neuter program.  There is a national prize of $10,000 which we have tried for in the past but with many large national organizations competing we have decided, in this go around, to focus our sights on winning the Montana prize again of $1,000.  You figure, if we win this prize (3) times a year … that is $3,000 of extra cash for our spay/neuter program that we wouldn’t have had normally.  What a simple way for you to assist us and it costs you nothing!  Just a daily vote every day is all we ask … it is that easy!  We cannot do it without your help though so please read below on how easy this is to accomplish for us.

For those of you have assisted us in the past, you know the routine!  It is a DAILY vote ... not just a one-time deal.  Please cast your vote every day at the link below and be sure to bookmark it for easy reference:

For any newbies, just click on the link and type in Rimrock Humane Society for the shelter name, Montana for the state and Roundup for the city.  Once you do this, it will automatically take you there every time you vote!  It is as easy as that!

Currently, we are 1st in the state and 75th in the Nation!  Please vote every day and forward to your friends and family – we have learned in the past that it is important to rally early and take the lead quickly!

This contest runs to midnight on March 20th – we will be sending out frequent reminders and be sure to join us on Facebook as we send out daily reminders there as well!

We are proud of the fact that our animals receive not only the best veterinary care we can provide but high quality nutritious food as well.
