MISSOULA - A Missoula non-profit is rolling out to service Western Montana pets in a newly-donated van.

Bitterroot Motors gave Animeals a new Ford Transit Connect which features pictures of rescue animals and pets of Bitterroot Motors employees.

Animeals will use it daily to transport pet food, supplies and animals andBitterroot Motors owner Kathy Ogren said it was a good opportunity to help an organization through advertising.

"We talked about wanting more advertising and a local look for Missoula," Ogren said. "We pay our Ford advertising and Toyota advertising and they're very generic shots and we'd rather have vehicles that need them in Missoula."

During September, Bitterroot Motors will put $50 of each new car purchase toward funding the Animeals van.
