Pintler Pets There are more than 175 pets available for adoption at Pintler Pets in Anaconda. The non-profit shelter currently has 150 cats and 28 dogs waiting for homes. Shelter spokesperson Pat Phillip says many lucky pets have found companionship around the country from as near as Anaconda, and as far as Connecticut and Alaska. “We have pets adopted everywhere,” Phillip said. Phillip said she has so many great stories from families about pets they have been adopted, and she wants each dog and cat currently at the shelter to have the same opportunity.

The adoption process usually takes a couple of days and includes submitting an application. Phillip said the shelter does a thorough job of checking prospective homes for their pets to ensure the best fit. “We like owners to have fenced yards,” Phillip said, when referring to people looking to adopt a dog. Phillip said they also check to see if families rent or own and what kind of pet owners they’ve been in the past. The shelter relies on donations to stay open and is always looking for monetary contributions, volunteers and food donations. If you would like to adopt a pet or make a donation, call Pintler Pets at 563-7464, visit the shelter at 80 Silver St. in Anaconda, or email pintler_petsmt@yahoo.com. Their website, montanapets.org/pp, also has a complete list of pets waiting for adoption.
