Volunteers are busy gathering items and getting ready for the 18th Annual Bow Wow Bash.
The Bash will be held Oct. 19 at the Libby VFW.
Through the generous donations from the businesses and individuals of the area there will be a wide variety of items to bid on.
At 5:30 p.m., everyone is welcome to come in and browse the auction items and place bids on silent auction items. Dinner is served at 6:30 and the live auction follows shorty. The cost is $20 for one or $35 for two.
Tickets are available from KPFL volunteers or call 293-6801 for tickets. Please purchase tickets by Oct. 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 100% volunteer group and 100% of any 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.
It is a non-profit, all volunteer organization providing shelter, assisting our community with spay and neuter, foster care, veterinary assistance and education.
Its 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 we are 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.
