The Central Dakota Humane Society is an animal rescue, shelter, and adoption center.  Located north of Mandan they've been serving the region for decades. My daughter started working there when she was 14 years old.  Since she was so young, I had to bring her to the State Capitol to get a work permit.  One of the first questions about the job was "Do the animals bite?"

I'd say if you've been through some of the hell these strays and surrenders have experienced, you might want to put the chomp on someone.

But honestly, most of the cats and dogs at CDHS are way more like this...

That's a credit to the fantastic and loving crew that cares for these critters.  Employees and volunteers are doing incredible things every day at their location north of Mandan. But they need our help.

They always need our help.

That perpetual perseverance is what makes all these rescue operations so darn special. The light at the end of the tunnel is only achieved one permanent home at a time.  There's always the next animal up.

The Annual Shaggy Shuffle Fundraiser is Tuesday, June 21st in Sertoma Park.

It's the same event that used to take place in the early fall starting at the State Capitol. I'm hoping the switch of seasons and change of location will get folks motivated to give generously.  Come on out and bring the family!  Plus you can see plenty of up-for-adoption candidates up close and personal. Here's everything that's going on...
