Let's band together to save organization

The Bonner Humane Society is closing its doors after 20 years of serving the community as the only low-cost spay and neuter clinic in the county. Our clients can’t believe it, “What will we do?” Good question!

What will the lower income individuals — most of whom act as foster homes — do with the lost, feral, abandoned and adopted animals.

If you’ve checked with your local vet lately, it’s no cheap day to take one of your pets in for vaccinations or to be spayed or neutered. Some of these angels bring in up to five cats in one day. The result: hundreds of un-spayed and un-neutered dogs and cats roaming the community, engorging the already over-populated pet community and sharing more diseases.

As a community with a “community” spay/neuter “clinic,” what is one to do? Join your friends and co-workers and start talking to people. We need money to keep it going. Have ideas? Share them!

Keep us going.
