KPFL no longer to offer local spay/neuter animal clinics

Kootenai Pets for Life will no longer be offering spay or neuter options at our Shelter in Libby.
We have an agreement with Dr. Burt Veterinary Care in Bonners Ferry, Idaho to honor vouchers provided by KPFL. We are currently looking for more options in Kalispell, Thompson Falls, Sandpoint and more.
In an effort to promote the spay or neuter of every pet, we can provide a voucher that will reduce the cost of
this surgery for you. You will need to call the Shelter at (406) 293-5735 to receive a voucher. You must have this voucher before you make an appointment and tell the veterinarian that you using the voucher.

Female dog spay under 20 pounds is $90, 20-50 pounds is $95, 51-99 pounds is $105, and over 100 pounds is $110 plus $1 per pound over.
Male dog neuter under 20 pounds is $75, 20-50 pounds is $80, 51-99 pounds is $90, and over 100 pounds is $110 plus $1 per pound over.
KPFL was started in 2001 by a group of concerned citizens to provide a humane, no-kill Sshelter for the stray and abandoned pet population of the Libby and Troy area. The all volunteer organization provides shelter and
assists our community with spay and neuter, foster care, veterinary assistance and education. Over 3,500 pets have been adopted out since the shelter began and over 8,000 pets have been spayed or neutered. The Shelter is
located at 125 County Shop Road.

Libby – The Kootenai Forest Stakeholders Coalition is proud to announce the first-ever Kootenai Forest Fair,
taking place at Riverfront Park in Libby from 3-6 p.m. on Friday, September 24.
The fair will feature booths from over 40 local and statewide groups ranging from local businesses to

Attendees will be able to visit with and learn from local loggers, forest rangers, wildfire experts, wildlife
biologists, and trails advocates.
“The fair is a chance to connect to our forest in a new way and learn
about all the great work that folks are doing to support our forest resources and communities,” says Allie Maloney, northwest Montana field director at Wild Montana. “The forest gives us good jobs and incredible access to the outdoors, and I’m excited that we have this chance to learn more about everything that goes on behind the scenes.”
In addition to chatting with exhibitors, Forest Fair attendees will have
the chance to take photos with Smokey Bear, enjoy a free beer from Cabinet Mountain Brewing, and win great
prizes, including a unit of freshly milled 2x4s generously donated by Idaho
Forest Group. There will also be plenty of kid-friendly activities and outdoor skills demonstrations.
“This really is a fun way to bring the community together and enjoy a great afternoon,” says Bob Casteneda, retired Kootenai Forest Supervisor and current board member of the Kootenai Forest Stakeholders Coalition. “From timber to trails to hunting and fishing, our forest really provides for us in so many ways, and we’re really looking forward to what should be a great afternoon.”
