Feature creature

Take a sensitive puppy, drop her in a noisy shelter, and you’re likely to wind up with a timid creature like Herbie. She has a wonderful temperament, but is uncomfortable in a room full of strangers. Herbie lacks confidence and doesn’t even show enough gumption to chase a cat. She looks wistfully at every car, as if hoping for her owners to return. She likes children, and will be best matched with mature types who won’t make sudden movements or expect a lot of playfulness. If you have love for a gentle young soul, Herbie is likely to return that gift tenfold. Visit her at the Kootenai Humane Society, 11650 N. Ramsey Road in Hayden Lake or call (208) 772-4019 to learn more.
