Jamestown  (CSi)  The James River Humane Society continues to be accessible, during the North Dakota Smart Restart.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Vice President, Jay Nitschke said, those interested in viewing dogs and cats available for adoption can call the shelter at 701-252-0747, or the cat manager Sheila at 701-367-6913 for more information.  She said the James River Humane Society currently has four dogs and 10 cats available for adoption.  She said, shelter employees and volunteers observe social distancing when in the building.

Jay pointed out that with guidelines concerning social distancing and limiting participants at indoor fundraising events, the shelter was not able to hold their largest fundraiser, the Potato Bar.  Other fundraisers are on hold, until state guidelines concerning slowing the spread of the COVID-19 virus are amended to allow such gatherings again.

She said monetary donations are being accepted, especially in light of funds needed to repair the kennels.

Those wishing to send a monetary donation may do so by sending it to the James River Humane Society at P.O. Box 636, Jamestown, ND 58402.

Donations of food, cleaning supplies, toys and other needs are still being accepted, either at the drop box at Hugo’s or call the shelter to arrange for dropping off the items there.

On our show Jay highlighted “Cookie” a Healer/Collie mix.  Cookie likes people and cats but not other dogs, so the forever home should not have a dog living there.

The James River Humane Society is located off the I-94 Bloom Exit.  Again call 701-252-0747 for more information, and a reminder of the guidelines in place.
