– Dogs available for local adoption from pet rescues

Jamestown (CSi) A number of animals recently rescued by groups in North Dakota brought from at Fort Yates, are available for adoption through Prairie Paws Rescue and the James River Humane Society in Jamestown.

Last Saturday, the organizations brought back 38 dogs that were divided among the groups which will try to find the animals permanent homes.

Humane Society Dog Manager, Kris Meidinger says volunteers from rescue groups worked with law enforcement and wildlife officers gathering stray dogs from the streets.

Meidinger adds that the pet rescue groups go to Fort Yates about four times per year.

At Humane Society is “Molly”, an Australian shepherd mix and her five puppies. Molly and her pups were found outdoors under a deck and their owners relinquished them to the rescue groups.

They also are looking for homes for “Princess”, “Foxy” and “Tia”, larger adult mixed-breed dogs.

Prairie Paws Rescue’s Kaye John points out that the organization is seeking homes for six mixed-breed dogs from Fort Yates.

John says all the dogs gathered at Fort Yates in the past have been well socialized and friendly to people and other dogs.

Also, Prairie Paws Rescue is seeking homes for a number of dogs from the Minot area in cooperation with a pet rescue organization, there.

Pets available for adoption through Prairie Paws will be displayed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and each second Saturday of the month at the Tractor Supply Co. store on 5^th Avenue, Southeast in Jamestown east of Park Plaza Mall.
