Please remember, we will be closing at 4 today to help with all of these dogs. Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend! 
THANK YOU ALL for your understanding of our sudden closure. From the Ravalli County Sherriff’s office: ANIMAL NEGLECT INVESTIGATION. The Ravalli County Sheriff’s Office recently conducted an animal neglect investigation at a residence in the Corvallis area. As a result of the investigation, multiple animals were seized and placed into protective care at our local Bitterroot Humane Association and the Humane Society of Western Montana in Missoula and The Wings Program locally. Eighty seven animals were seized to include dogs, cats, rats, and livestock.
The investigation was initiated following reports of suspected neglect. Deputies, along with assistance from Bitter Root Humane Association (BRHA), Humane Society of Western Montana (HSWM) and The Wings Program conducted a search warrant and safely removed multiple animals from the property. The animals are currently receiving veterinary evaluation and care.
Due to multiple animals filling their shelters, the BRHA and HSWM are currently unable to intake local animals and are open by appointment only.
This investigation remains ongoing, and potential criminal charges are being reviewed in consultation with the Ravalli County Attorney’s Office. As this is an active investigation, the BRHA, HSWM and The Wings Program are currently unable to adopt any of the animals in protective care
The Ravalli County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the assisting humane agencies and community members who helped ensure the safety and welfare of the animals involved.
