We at Townsquare Media are huge advocates of adopting pets from local rescues. I have three canine children, myself. The oldest, Ollie, came from the Blackfeet Reservation; the middle, Theo, came from YVAS; and the youngest, Bruce, came from Rez Dog Rescue.

Humane Heroes

We believe that local shelters are doing great work to save the lives of animals in our area. They provide much-needed services like spaying and neutering and are dedicated to finding loving homes for their animals.

Benefits of Adopting

Being a pet parent is so rewarding, and even more so when you know you've played a part in saving their life. Animals don't deserve the cruel things that some humans do to them, so if you can save one, two, or twenty (I kid) from an unfortunate fate, Please do so.
