Pet of the Week: Bentley

Bentley has graduated and is ready to start his new life away from the shelter.  In Good Dog 101, Bentley mastered his people skills, dog skills, both on and off leash walking, running, hiking and skiing.  His happy go lucky attitude is uplifting and contagious and often leaves you smiling and feeling refreshed.  This young graduate will be snapped up soon so don’t blink an eye before coming to meet Bentley.

 

For more information about Bentley or other pets available for adoption, or to find out about volunteering opportunities, please call 208-788-4351 or check out www.animalshelterwrv.org.

 

About Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley
The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, the first “no kill” shelter in Idaho, promotes companion animal welfare by providing temporary shelter for homeless animals, adopting them to qualified homes and reducing animal abuse, neglect and overpopulation through community education and spay/neuter services. More than 90 percent of its funding comes from private donations.In 2010 more than 1500 animals received services from the shelter. This includes 388 animals that were adopted, 257 lost animals that were reunited with their owners, 247 shelter animals that were spayed/neutered, and 363 privately owned animals that were spayed or neutered at no cost to their owners, and over 6000 pounds of food distributed through our Paws for Hunger partnership with The Hunger Coalition. On an average day, the shelter cares for 35 dogs and 31 cats.
