Great Falls Animal Shelter Relocates to New Location

Beginning at the first of February for construction in Montana can be a little challenging and perhaps even daunting.  But our Great Falls Animal Shelter is undeterred and charging ahead with major changes at the facility.

Some of those challenges will require that the animal shelter relocates to a new location, but only temporarily as the new construction continues.

Construction at the Great Falls Animal Shelter is underway currently, with the focus beginning on backed up pipes within the foundation.  As construction has continued, it was discovered that several power lines run directly through the planned path for the new sewer line.

As such, the shelter has moved to a new, temporary location to be able to continue to offer most services for the pets and for the public.  According to the shelter, they "will be vacating our usual offices and relocating to 2701 16th St NE, Black Eagle, MT 59414 during our renovations."

The shelter is not taking in strays at this current time.  They issued the following statement in regard to stray animals:

We will be temporarily suspending intakes of stray animals until the work is complete. However, Animal Control is still available for assistance. If you find a stray, we encourage you to first try to locate the owner before contacting Animal Control, as many pets are simply lost and can be quickly reunited with their families. We remain committed to supporting our Animal Control Officers and the important work they do.
