Reba
Reba was found living on the side of the road. She was very starved and neglected. There was nothing in site for miles and she appeared to have been nested down there for awhile. A kind pet Angel rescued her but could not keep her. She had hundreds of ticks all over her body also had fleas. After a good flea and tick bath, her pet angels brought her to HELP FOR HOMELESS PETS to find a new loving home. Despite what she has been through she is the most gentle loving dog you could find. She is great with other dogs and cats too loves kids.  She loves to eat and especially likes any kind of treats you give her. She is so gentle also when she takes her treats. She does not bark much, just a very well mannered dog.

She looks to possibly have some Brittany spaniel in her. She would be an excellent companion or family pet. We do prefer she has a fenced yard. We will update pictures as she gains weight as we realize right now she does not look her best. We believe she will be a loyal, beautiful dog when she overcomes all her misfortune. Adopt fee.

Volunteers pitch in to clean pet refuge
The Billings Gazette
February 04, 2007

Help for Homeless Pets is going through a major facelift this weekend.

Volunteers gathered at the facility Saturday, and will be back today, for a complete scrub down. The intensive cleaning - with bleach solution and other cleaners - is meant to scour the building of the remains of illness that led to a quarantine last month.

"We have to start from ground zero," board member Noelle Stanton said. "We weren't bombed out, but we're close to it."

Nineteen cats spared from death in Georgia arrived in Billings before dawn on Sunday ready for another chance at life.

The cats of all stripes and sizes will be put up for adoption by Billings-based Help for Homeless Pets.

Groups sponsor sterilization for area's feral cats
The Billings Gazette
February 28, 2003

Bringing in feral cats for spaying or neutering is no easy task. The animals are, after all, feral.

But sterilization is the only way to keep the untamed cat population from reaching critical numbers, and a coalition of groups sponsors this program each year at the Lockwood Veterinary Clinic.

"A lot of people like to have a cat around, and they understand that if you have six cats, soon you're going to have 50 cats," said Angie Cook, president of Help For Homeless Pets.

More than 100 cats, kittens found in local home
The Billings Gazette
May 31, 2008

Two local animal shelters are in a bit of a feline fix after unexpectedly receiving more than 100 cats on May 22-23, 2008.

The Billings Animal Shelter, 1735 Monad Road, and Help for Homeless Pets, 2910 Hannon Drive, are looking for homes for about
90 of the cats, which came from a single home south of Billings.

Angie Cook, director of Help for Homeless Pets, said the cats were discovered in the home by family members of its occupants. A woman and her daughter lived there, and when the daughter passed away recently, family members came to help move the woman out - and discovered the whole kitty caboodle.

"They'd never seen daylight, probably never even been out of the house," Cook said of the cats.

HHP Visits Billings Catholic School

October 2008
HHP and Kashus visited Billings Catholic School.  Everyone had a great time.  The children had collected and donated a whole van full of Pet Food, Toys, and Treats.   Thank you for your incredible generosity.
We’re here! 
We are the Camp Husky dogs, and looking for a new forever home!
Camp Husky is a rescue set up in Butte, MT that was established after 108 Husky and Shepherd mix dogs were seized from a hoarder that was transporting the dogs to Alaska in a bus and trailer. Several litters of puppies were born shortly after the seizure making well over 200 dogs. Help for Homeless Pets in Billings, Montana is being blessed by receiving 10 of these dogs to help them find new loving forever homes.  Each one will need a good fenced yard and close supervision, as well as a very patient person to work with them until they get acclimated to their new home and environment. They have all come a long way since they’ve been liberated from their hoarder and want to please you and put their best paw forward;  but they still have a little distrust to work through.  If you are interested in adopting one of these wonderful dogs, please contact Angie at 860-8735.  Adoption fee is $75.00.

Rennovation
We are continuing to remodel and update our kennels in the back area of the shelter.  The "Trot for Spot" fund raiser last year helped us finish this project.  We are now trying to raise money for the same type of kennels to put inside the shelter for the puppies and smaller dogs.  We will need about $2,000 to do this, so any donation you can give would be greatly appreciated.

12th Annual Barn Cat / Feral Cat Spay / Neuter Clinic

Here is video of our 12th annual barn cat / feral spay neuter clinic 02-18-2010 that we sponsored. We also had a shot clinic at the same time for dogs and cats. We exceeded again our count for this annual clinic. We spayed neutered vaccinated and de-wormed 129 cats on this day clinic. We once again would like to thank the people who took the time to get their cats spayed or neutered. So far we have spayed, neutered and vaccinated 1,137 total cats through this one annual clinic. That is a lot of litters that did not consume our already over populated community.

Dozens of small-breed dogs brought to Billings for adoption
DIANE COCHRAN Of The Gazette Staff | Posted: Friday, May 28, 2010 12:08 am

Chihuahuas still turn heads in Montana, where cow dogs and their full-size brethren have a monopoly on canine companionship.

But in California, purse-sized pups are a dime a dozen. Hundreds of them are euthanized when animal shelters cannot find homes for them.

Almost 100 wee West Coast dogs got a reprieve this week when volunteers drove them from Los Angeles to Billings, where they will be available for adoption through Help for Homeless Pets.

“They’re just beautiful,” said Kathy Byrd, a Help for Homeless Pets employee. “The night they came in it was one of the most emotional times I’ve had in life.”

Most of the dogs are Chihuahuas or Chihuahua mixes, but there are also papillon, Shih Tzu and corgi crosses. Four are nursing mothers with litters.

They were brought to Billings by volunteers Rhonda Kuehn and Jason Rieker, who rescue dogs in Arizona. Kuehn and Rieker partnered with Help for Homeless Pets to launch Road to HOPE, or Helping Orphaned Pets Everywhere.

The dogs are from shelters in California, not from puppy mills, said Angie Cook, executive director of Help for Homeless Pets.

“They are all pretty well socialized,” she said. “They would make good pets for people who live in apartments or older people. They are excellent companion dogs.”

Cook said Help for Homeless Pets often gets requests for small breeds but rarely has them. If Road to HOPE is successful, she plans to arrange for another load of small dogs to be brought to Billings.
