Last month, a heat wave hit Billings, Montana, and temperatures reached over 100 degrees for a number of days.
This ended up being a challenge for the Help for Homeless animal shelter as the staff used fans and sprinklers and anything else they could find to keep the dogs and cats cool in the summer heat.
When Jason Linday — the owner of Patriot Heating and Cooling — learned of the struggle, he stepped up in a big way and donated air conditioning units to the shelter.
Jason says when he first visited the shelter, the temperatures at the shelter were in the 90s. Now that the air conditioning units are installed, everyone — both humans and animals — are comfortable with a cool 77 degrees.
Jason admits that he was inspired to make the donations after seeing the kittens and puppies and explaining, “It’s something I felt inside my heart that I had to take care of.” (KTVQ-TV)
