No Room For Broken Hearts: Helping Flathead's Homeless Pets

Welcome to Pet Talk, an occasional column about homeless pets and related topics.

Tulip is available for adoption at Flathead County Animal Shelter. Schedule a meet-and-greet by calling 406-752-1310.

Today’s topic is about the unfortunate plight of too many pets in this Valley—so please consider how you can help!

To set the mood, how about some lyrics from Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel,” which could easily apply to the homeless pets at the Flathead County Animal Shelter!

Well, since my baby left me

I found a new place to dwell

Down at the end of Lonely Street

At Heartbreak Hotel

Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely, baby

I'll be lonely

I'll be so lonely, I could die

Well, although it's always crowded

You still could find some room

For broken-hearted lovers

To cry there in their gloom

They'll be so, they'll be so lonely, baby

Be so lonely, they'll get so lonely, they could die”

OK, so maybe they won’t actually die of loneliness at the shelter, but who knows?
