In 2025, 1195 animals were brought into the shelter. Animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, fed, and cared for. Animals requiring special medical care (surgeries, etc.) receive this here from a team of vets & assistants that volunteer their time. Mental and physical well-being are accomplished through human interaction, playing with other animals and exercise. BRHA also utilizes a foster program so that animals can spend as much time in a home setting as possible as opposed to the shelter setting. This helps them adjust to various environments and aids in adoptions. There is an adoption process by which the staff works to place animals in the best home possible. To assist the public in being able to keep and care for their animals, the BRHA offers additional services. BRHA offers spay/neuter services, micro-chips and vaccinations at low to no cost for the public. BRHA operates a community pantry offering food to the public to feed their animals when they cannot afford it. 819114 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 17 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false true false X Margaret Noffsinger 4063635311 PO Box 57 Hamilton MT 59840 X Sean Hurst Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Pederson Treasurer 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robin Dewey Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jen Chase Vice President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Ryan Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chad Hillman Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Allison President 32.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cheryl Dooley Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Hammond Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthie Fisher Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Natalie Thurman Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hope Lawson Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 60 98233 591530 689823 Adoptions 900099 52603 52603 Boarding 900099 Crematorium 900099 3360 3360 Reclaim/turn in fees 900099 7725 7725 Spay/neuter 900099 21690 21690 85378 48604 48604 0 0 0 182469 156068 26401 26401 26401 76730 98233 57139 19591 19591 0 0 0 869797 179974 0 0 0 0 0 0 440190 396171 44019 0 9003 8104 899 36737 33063 3674 0 0 3500 3500 0 0 0 0 9002 8776 226 40867 33127 7740 4964 4614 350 0 67313 60581 6732 3355 3019 336 0 0 1530 1530 0 145487 134319 11168 21704 20237 1467 Animal care & maintenance 64719 64719 Spay & neuter expenses 28489 28489 Emergency vet expenses 17426 17426 Dues & Subscriptions 9501 9501 6721 6469 252 910508 819114 91168 226 182047 329576 17190 31844 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4926050 880951 4152355 4045099 934599 864923 0 0 0 0 5286191 5271442 705 17972 71950 6018 72655 23990 X 5213536 5247452 5213536 5247452 5286191 5271442 -40711 72607 2020 X false false false X 493614 370986 418293 752707 689823 2725423 0 0 493614 370986 418293 752707 689823 2725423 1056166 1669257 20240 19150 30491 22419 48604 140904 0 0 2866327 292780 0.58240 0.76440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 806558 88903 46715 848746 885690 91381 163917 6596 806558 867942 102513 71861 12904 885690 1149232 -111515 157092 12683 867942 1126179 192425 155188 14184 1149232 1.00000 false false false 20000 20000 4653136 713318 3939818 252914 167633 85281 4045099 Credit card payable 6018 6018 869797 869797 869797 910508 910508 910508 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
