Greetings Pocatello!

I have an update from P.A.W.S. on the rescue and feeding of the Fort Hall farm animals that I would like to share with you.

P.A.W.S. has received donations from all over the United States to help feed these animals.

P.A.W.S. would still like to buy hay in small bales.  If you have some hay for sale please contact the sheriffs office.  P.A.W.S. will continue to help feed these animals as the case works its way thru the court system.

P.A.W.S. would like to say Thank You for all of the donations of hay, feed, salt blocks and other items for the Fort Hall farm animals.

P.A.W.S. would like to send a very special Thank You to "Team INL."  This group of people from the site donated and delivered 2 tons of hay cubes.  They also  generously donated the use of their trucks, trailers and time to go to St. Anthony and get the donated 5 tons of hay and bring it back to Bannock County.  Many, many, many thanks to "Team INL" for helping these animals.

The horses and other farm animals are still being fed under the watchful eye of the Bannock County Sheriff.

Again, the most important thing you can do to help is contact the Governor and your legislators to change the animal cruelty laws in Bannock County and the State of Idaho.

P.A.W.S. is still asking for donations to help these and other animals.  P.A.W.S. is a volunteer organization.  Every penny donated goes to help animals in Bannock County. Tax deductible donations can be sent to:  P.A.W.S. , P.O. Box 1603, Pocatello, Idaho  83201.

P.A.W.S. has two dogs up for adoption:

A male 2 year old Airedale mix, neutered and vaccinated.

A male 3 year old Australian Shepherd mix, neutered and vaccinated.

The adoption fee for these dogs is $50.00. 

P.A.W.S. also has some cats ready for adoption.  These cats range in age from 6 months to adults.  They are neutered and vaccinated.  The fee is $30.00.

When you adopt an animal from P.A.W.S. you have two weeks to return the animal and you will be refunded your money.  After two weeks, P.A.W.S. will take the animal back, but you will not get a refund.  In this way you can make sure the animal fits your family and life style and P.A.W.S. knows the animal has a good home. 

For more information about adopting an animal you can contact P.A.W.S. at : bannockpaws@hotmail.com.

If you would like to donate dog or cat food or towels or blankets they can be dropped off at my kennel and I will make sure they are delivered to P.A.W.S.  Feed and other items for the farm animal rescue can be taken to the Bannock County Fairgrounds.

Thank you,

Tina Christensen, Portneuf Kennels
