Governed by a Board of Directors, HSNWMT is a private, non-profit 501 (c)(3) limited admission, no-kill organization that focuses on finding caring, loving homes for orphaned cats and dogs and ending the destruction of healthy adoptable pets. Our Board of Directors consists of Flathead Valley residents who are concerned about animal welfare and who live and work in the area. The HSNWMT staff consists of a dedicated team of animal care and administrative professionals.
On behalf of the orphaned animals that we serve, thank you for the opportunity to acquaint you with our life saving organization.
Located between two of the fastest growing cities in Montana, Whitefish and Kalispell, the Humane Society of Northwest Montana is home of the Charlotte Edkins Animal Adoption Center.
Our facility which opened its doors to the general public on July 1, 2004 sits on fourteen acres and it is built in the shape of a horseshoe. Our original architectural design resembled a rectangle and was approximately 10,000 square feet in size. Due to budget constraints at the time of construction however, we had to sacrifice the amount of kennel space for dogs and decrease overall dimensions. After completion of our cost-cutting concessions of approximately 3,000 square feet in the final build-out, the result was 39 kennels for cats and 17 kennels for dogs.
Mission and Vision
The Humane Society of Northwest Montana provides a caring and safe environment for dogs and cats until they can be united with a forever home.
Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS INFORMATION
“The Adoption Process Typically Requires a 24-Hour Waiting Period”
➢ The adoption center is open Tuesday-Saturday 11-5.
➢ If you submit an adoption application on a Saturday, the front desk may not be able to process it until the following Tuesday. Your landlord or vet office may be closed on Saturday.
1. Adopters must be at least 18 years old; proof of photo identification is required.
2. Adoption applications must be completely filled out and signed by the adopter in order to be processed.
3. There is typically a 24-hour waiting period from the time of application until the time of adoption. Exceptions would be if we already have a verified application from you.
4. Because multiple applications on one animal are common, approved applications are not necessarily based on a first come, first serve basis. All animals’ future safety, security, physical well-being, and emotional well-being are carefully considered in the adoption process. Therefore, completing an application does not guarantee an adoption.
5. All adoption center animals are vaccinated, screened for parasites, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption, including puppies and kittens.
6. If you are adopting a cat or kitten, the Humane Society requires that all adopted cats/kittens be transported in a carrier. Disposable cat carriers are available for purchase for $8.00.
7. For adopters with pets at home, all pets living at your home are required to be current on annual vaccinations, including rabies. This policy applies to indoor-only cats also.
8. If you are adopting a dog, please consider the animal’s size and choose a vehicle that will safely accommodate the dog while transporting him/her in an enclosed automobile.
9. For adopters who have a dog at home or a dog living with them and who are interested in adopting a Humane Society dog: If the adoption application is verified, the Humane Society requires a “Meet & Greet” session between the dog that lives with you and the Humane Society dog as part of the final approval process. “Meet & Greet” sessions are scheduled by staff and take place here at the adoption center. Your dog will be required to be on a leash and current on its rabies vaccination at the time of the visit.
10. Approved adoptions require that prospective pet owner(s) be present at the adoption and sign the “Adoption Agreement” in person.

Get your dog the safe enrichment they need by renting a Sniffspot
David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
