"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human.
The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."
~ Edward Hoagland






Classes for whole families and their pets start monthly.
Kids welcome!

Three DITR people volunteered at the Emergency Animal Shelter as Humane Evacuation Animal Rescue Team (HEART) members. Judy Campbell, Chris, and Nancy Zietlow spent over 12 hours each at the shelter that was set up in response to the Valley View Fire. They helped to mobilize the shelter at the Spokane County Fairgrounds. They took in and cared for several people's pets: several dogs, cats, horses and goats! They also assisted with demobilization.
