Humane Society in Bitteroot switching to managed intake.

(Bitter Root) Last year, the Bitter Root Humane association in Ravalli County announced they would switch to a managed intake, meaning they now only take animals by appointment.

That was in response to the overcrowding the shelter experienced last year. While the humane society’s numbers have not changed, they say changing to a managed intake allows the staff to keep up with caring for the animals as well as getting them ready to go home.

The change has also lowered adoption wait times. For those interested in adopting, click here.
