Reba is a very beautiful Calico. She has had a rough time, so she is not sure who to trust. Each day Reba warms up a bit more. Reba very much wants a home of her own. She hopes her timidness will not stop someone from giving her a chance to know what it is like to be pampered and loved. Can you give this beauty the love she deserves?

Open House at Pet Connection, Bismarck

PCHS Invites Public to Open House

The Pet Connection Humane Society (PCHS) invites the public to an open house on Saturday, April 8, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. There will be refreshments, drawings for door prizes, and a chance to meet staff and board members, including the new Shelter Director.

The PCHS operates a no-kill animal shelter north of Bismarck, just west off of Hwy 1804, where it houses approximately 200 animals. It celebrates its sixth year of operation, with more than 3,500 animal adoptions during that time. Several hundred animals have also been rescued from the pound, and others have been temporarily housed in emergency situations through its Safe Haven Program.

Mothballs can be dangerous to dogs and cats

An ASPCA News Alert:

"According to Farbman, mothballs-particularly those containing an ingredient known as naphthalene-can be toxic to dogs, cats and other animals. If ingested, naphthalene can cause serious illness, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, swelling of the brain tissue, seizures, damage to the liver, kidneys and blood cells, coma and even death."
