Kootenai Humane Society seeks to replace medicine

A refrigerator at the Kootenai Humane Society in Hayden was accidentally left open recently, causing a number of expensive veterinary medicines to spoil.

The nonprofit organization is asking for the public’s help replacing the expensive medicines, including rabies vaccines and other dog and cat vaccines.

“These are expensive to replace, and we have no choice but to replace them,” Executive Director Rondi Renaldo said in an email.

The Kootenai Humane Society houses about 80 dogs and 120 cats and cannot wait to replace the medicine, Renaldo said.

All donations are tax-deductible. To make a donation, call (208) 699-4844.
