‘Christmas Pawty’ Coming To Lake City

Animals in three shelters in Northern Idaho passed over for adoption time and time again, some for as many as five years, are receiving help from a dedicated and committed team of celebrities and shelter friends.  They’re heading up a local “Christmas Pawty” Tuesday and rolling out all the stops to find homes by Christmas for the shelters’ most adoption-challenged pets. That includes a lot of national social media plugging by Dr. Marty Becker, the veterinarian from Bonners Ferry, who’s most recognized as “America’s Veterinarian” appearing on ABC’s  “Good Morning America” and the “Dr. Oz Show.”  He has teamed with his daughter, pet trainer and author Mikkel Becker, and various shelter board members and volunteers to organize the “Christmas Pawty.”  The public is invited to help find the harder-to-adopt animals forever homes. The locations and times Tuesday are: Kootenai Humane Society at 11650 Ramsey Road, Hayden, noon to 2 p.m. ; Pandhandle Animal Shelter, 870 Kootenai Cut-off Road, Ponderay, ID from 3 to 4:30 p.m.; and, Second Chance Animal Adoption Shelter at 6647 Lincoln St., Bonners Ferry, ID from 5:30 – 7 p.m. More here.
