Nonprofit comes to the rescue of Reservations’ stray pets
Since 2006, the nonprofit has helped pet owners spay or neuter more than 750 dogs and cats.
When Amy Loudermilk used to visit the Squaxin Island Reservation for work, she and her colleague would often see stray, malnourished dogs and cats.
The same was true when she visited the Skokomish Indian Reservation on Hood Canal and every other reservation that she served through her work at an intertribal housing authority.
“Every time I walked up to the Chehalis Tribal Center, there were three of four dogs begging for food.” Loudermilk said. “People said they were dumped. Everywhere, we’d see malnourished, stray dogs running around and tipping garbage cans. But there was never anyone to call.”
