Hi, my name is Espe, a sweet, perfect-sized dog in basic black, that goes with everything.

My heart goes out to Espe. The only indicator of her past life on her own is the multiple burn scars on her back. To have endured torture like that and still be the sweetest little girl that she is shows just how wonderful she is. Espe weighs 36 lbs, has been spayed, vaccinated, is on Frontline and heartworm preventative. She is a 3-year-old black cattledog/shepherd mix. She is very easy to bathe, brush, and love. She is house-trained and sleeps in a kennel at night. She is wonderful with children, does fine with other dogs, but will chase cats. Does good on leash and without, she stays close and won't let you out of her sight. She does great on runs, walks and is very calm when at home. This dog is smart and learns very fast. Call Marisa (808)227-8278. .

Who We Are

Blackhat Humane Society is a non-profit organization established in 2000. We are dedicated to rescuing and finding homes for abandoned animals and livestock. We are the only Humane Society on the Navajo Reservation (an area roughly the size of West Virginia). We have a tremendous problem with pet overpopulation. Cats and dogs are allowed to breed freely and survive on "what they can catch". Puppies and kittens are routinely dumped at local gas stations and grocery stores. Parvo, distemper, mange and untreated injuries are the cause of death for most companion animals. It is rare to see a dog or cat over 2 years of age. Once the backbone of the Navajo economy, horses, sheep and cattle now roam the open range, foraging for food.

Our goals include; education for all ages but concentrating on school-age children and a mobile clinic. We also need volunteers to help produce videos (in English and Navajo) which will be shown in the local chapterhouses and in our schools.

We are in need of volunteers and donations. Blankets, food, dog houses and crates, vet supplies and medications are helpful to our cause. If you are interested in visiting us as a volunteer, accomodations are available.

Adopting a Friend

Rescued animals are fostered in the homes of our volunteers. Here, they are given vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and taught the "social graces" neccessary to living in our world. Please contact the foster family of the animal in which you're interested for information. Our adoption fee is $75.
