Shadow, a 5-year-old black Lab, was found with her deceased owner almost three years ago. Since then, she has been in the care of the Rock Bottom Rocker Pet Pantry but she would love to have a more permanent home with a loving owner. Anyone interested in adopting Shadow or any other animal at the shelter can reach out to Shawna Kluge at 509-237-5722 or contact the shelter via Facebook at Rock Bottom Rocker Pet Pantry.

Rock Bottom Rocker Pet Pantry relocating
Volunteers and trucks needed for moving process
SOAP LAKE — The Rock Bottom Rocker Pet Pantry is officially moving to its new location – a five-acre “raw” plot of land located in rural Soap Lake a couple of miles away from the current location. However, Shawna Kluge, who starts and runs the shelter, said she needs communities worth of help to accomplish the goal. “Right now, we’re focusing on the move which is the 15 dogs on site and then other gear and equipment,” Kluge said. “While we are doing that, I still have to make sure that all the daily operations are kept up with. There is a lot of (stuff) to do. I am overwhelmed and definitely need help.” The new location does not have access to electricity or running water. “The PUD was asking for $110,000 to be split between three properties to bring it to the road, but we are still another mile from the road,” Kluge said. “We don’t have $37,000 and change to do that, so we are going solar.”
