We were told that Pickles is a chihuahua. I am not sure that is what Pickles is for sure, but she definitely has a chihuahua attitude. Pickles will need a special home where she is the only dog and no cats. Pickles is a little shy at first with people but once she gets to know you, she is very friendly and playful. Pickles is only about 6 months old. Pickles is spayed, current on vaccinations and microchipped.

UPDATE: OWNERS HAVE BEEN LOCATED!!

A dog walks into the Havre Police Department and demands to see the Animal Control Officer.

Sounds like the start of a dad joke. But this guy actually walked into the Police Department this afternoon. It can be claimed by contacting the Shelter or the Havre Police Department.

This kitty was picked up in the area of Town Pump this afternoon. It may have gone through the car wash so it may have come from another area. If this is your cat it can be claimed by contacting the Havre Police Department at 406-265-4361.

Animal Control Post! Sorry for the graphic photo.

This morning a call was received of an injured deer dragging its leg and having a hard time walking. A couple deer were located in the area and out of those the injured deer was identified. Due to the injury the deer was going to be removed at which time a resident began yelling not to touch the deer. The deer was in fact put down and removed from the area.

Due to the commotion several people in the area were looking trying to see what was happening. Being as transparent as we can I am showing the injury to the deer and why this deer was removed. I would rather remove injured deer like this outside of public view but unfortunately there are times when it may be necessary to humanely and safely remove the animal.

Request for information! Warning!

We have been getting reports from the Smithville area of missing cats including several this week. Along with these reports we have received information that someone in the block shown is shooting cats with a pellet gun. A cat that was brought into the shelter from this block was found to have a pellet imbedded in its abdomen.

If you have any information that would assist in this investigation, please contact the shelter or the Havre Police Department.

If you have a cat in the area, please us caution if you let your cats outside.

Rocky is looking for a little space to run and a lap to lay on.

Rocky is a male, medium sized mixed breed. Rocky is very friendly with people and most other dogs. We do not know how he does with cats. Rocky knows some basic commands when he is on leash but is a little independent when off leash.

Rocky is neutered, current on vaccinations and microchipped.

Rocky has a $95 adoption fee.

Applications for adoption along with all our available animals can be found on our website www.havreanimalshelter.org.

ANIMAL CONTROL POST

The City of Havre's Deer Urban Deer Hunt is currently ongoing. Information on the hunt can be found at the City of Havre's web site www.ci.havre.mt.us.
The Urban hunt is archery only.
All hunters taking part must check in with the police department prior to hunting.
If an animal is harvested it must be report to the police department so that harvest numbers can be tracked.

An issue I have experienced from prior years and some hunters that have been out so far this year is Harassment. Montana Code 87-6-215 states that someone can not intentionally interfere with someone lawfully hunting or fishing.
We understand that not everyone agrees with hunting urban deer. The time to voice your opinion on this is by attending a city council meeting not yelling at a hunter or chasing deer from hunt areas.

This pup was picked up this afternoon running at large in the area of the middle school.

I may have seen a post earlier today that someone was looking to rehome a similar looking pup?

The pup can be reclaimed by contacting the Havre Police Department. If the owner of the dog does not wish to reclaim the dog, please contact us so surrender paperwork can be signed. This will speed the process of making it available for adoption.
