A community shelter with several kinds of care
Lewis & Clark Humane Society was founded in Helena, Montana, in 1964. It serves a wider regional community with sheltering, adoption and care for lost, neglected or surrendered animals. Staff also work on socialisation, exercise and training, while fostering includes day trips and sleepovers as well as longer stays outside the shelter.
Moving directly from one home to another
The society uses Home To Home to help owners arrange rehoming without first placing an animal in a kennel. Owners create a profile, add photographs and respond directly to interested households. The published system does not charge adoption or rehoming fees. It is an owner-managed pathway, distinct from adopting an animal already in LCHS care.
A partnership for people leaving violence
LCHS and The Friendship Center work together to provide temporary pet housing for people experiencing domestic violence. The programme responds to the difficulty of finding safety when a human shelter cannot house an animal. Participation requires the owner to be working with a Friendship Center advocate, so the first contact is through that partner’s support process.
What the temporary arrangement includes
The partnership offers one consecutive month of pet care without charge, with staff reviewing the situation with the owner every two weeks. Supplies can be provided, and visits with the animal can be arranged through the programme team. RedRover grant support helps fund the arrangement. It is temporary care intended to support the family’s transition, rather than a surrender for adoption.
Choosing the route that fits the situation
An owner seeking a permanent new home can explore Home To Home, while a person facing domestic violence should speak with The Friendship Center about the partnership. People interested in helping shelter animals can enquire about fostering, including shorter outings. These options have different purposes, making the organisation’s specific programme pages more useful than a general assumption about shelter intake.
