Being a Shelter Volunteer is Fun!
Visiting all the wonderful cats and dogs is a great job. Besides cleaning which we have to do every day, we also walk the dogs, socialize the cats and do office work and other jobs as needed.

Could you fill in for an hour or two? Can you help by filling in one day? Or more? please call 406-295-5735 and leave a message

Did You Know?

In 2007 we facilitated the spay or neuter of 450 pets in the Libby and Troy area. We can help you.

Since the end of 2005 we have taken in, spayed or neutered, brought up to date on meds, and adopted out 1146 animals!

Your Donations of time, money or supplies to
Kootenai Pets for Life have made this all possible.
Thank You!

Call 293-3435 if you have questions, if you can work, or if you want to donate or e-mail

We are on our way to a new Shelter - one step and one dollar at a time. If you can help in any way please call or e-mail

Our current Shelter is located in the old Troy Animal Shelter which the City of Troy has so kindly let us use since our start in 2005. They would like to tear it down and use the land for something else. We desperately need a new facility.

The Libby City Council has approved a signed lease agreement that allows us to move ahead with plans for a new sheeter. We are in the process of seeking financing and starting preparation of the site to build a new shelter. We are looking for financing and/or donation of materials, supplies, and laborers to make this, much needed , humane dream come true.

Do you have a special skill that can be used in building the Shelter? Concrete? Framing? Roofing? Can you donate money (tax deductible) to the KPFL Building Fund, Box 1454, Libby, MT 59923 or call (406)293-6407.

Our Progress So Far Going One Step At a Time - Thanks to Terry Odewaldt we now have a perk test and a water test taken at the building site for a new Shelter - Fall 2008

Universal Drilling drilled a well at the new Shelter site. It is 100 feet deep and is 18 gallons per minute. A log will have to be filed with the State but first a physical address will have to be assigned to the site. The well will be filed as City of Libby/Kootenai Pets for Life - January 2008

Everyone Welcome

Every day we have volunteers either working at the shelter with the animals or workingin the background to provide funding for every animal and supply needed at the shelter. Becoming a member does not obligate anyone to volunteer his/her time. You can be an active or a silent member - the choice is yours! We have tax exempt status, which means contributions made to KPFL are deductible as charitable contributions on your federal and state income tax returns (subject to rules and limitations the IRS puts on contributions.)

Learn more about membership here. If you can help on any of the committees, please e-mail.

Who We Are

Kootenai Pets for Life is a non-profit volunteer organization providing shelter and care for the stray and abandoned pets of the Libby/Troy area, and assisting our community with spay and neuter, foster care, veterinary assistance, and education.

We promote spaying and neutering of pets and can assist people in keeping their pets by providing Spay/Neuter Certificates.We promote responsible pet ownership. Learn more about our volunteer group here.

Adopting a Companion and Friend

Please look over our Pet List if you are considering adding a pet to your family. If you are not in a position tomake a life-long commitment at this time, consider fostering an animal. If you love animals but can't have one of your own right now, volunteer at the shelter and you'll have the love of many animals.

Come Visit Us!

We have designated Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and sometimes evenings as open visiting hours, We are usually there every morning but we askthat you call and make an appointment or check to see when we are open for visitors so that we will have time for you. We are happy to have folks come in to socialize with the pets and walk them if they are able. We have found that when we are trying to get our work done and many visitors drop in it makes for a very long day for our time for you or have another volunteer come in to talk to you and show you around while we do our work. Call 406-295-kpfl(5735).
