Come check out our “Adopt-A-Kennel” program where our local individuals and businesses can show the community their support for our area’s homeless animals. This month’s (APRIL) Adopt-A-Kennel is in memory of Gloria Warren. A special lady, loved and missed by so many. A very special thanks to all of our sponsors for their continuing support. It’s the perfect way to honor someone or memorialize them by adopting a kennel in their name. Call us for more information or visit our website www.mccookhumanesociety.com for more information and to fill out a form online. You can also sponsor an adoption for one of our available pets if you’d like to help out in that way.
We’re really looking forward to tomorrow and this month’s edition of our “NAIL DAY”, Saturday, April 11th, from 1pm until 2pm. Our professional Nail Trimmer will be Amy Strauch of Four Winds Animal Clinic. Trims are $6 (which includes sales tax), or in lieu of that you may bring something in off our Shelter wish list (found on our facebook page). Must bring proof of rabies vaccination, and remain on leash (no retractable leashes).
NOT UGLY SWEATERS, just free ones. While the free giveaway is over, if you still have a need, we still have a few set aside for those who need some. We don’t want to see any of our furry friends going without that extra protection, so drop on by and grab a free sweater from the basket.
Don’t forget to “Like” us on Facebook, Instagram or check us out on TikTok to keep up to date on all of the upcoming fun events, job openings and fundraisers and when checking out our website, make sure you check out our section featuring our Up To The Minute Pet Listings!
Did ya know… A question that we often get asked is “How often should my dog get bathed?” That all depends on your pet.
Factors include: his hair coat, hair length, how often he gets dirty, where he lives (if he is indoor or outdoors most of the time), shedding cycle, and any underlying skin problem.
Some dogs need baths only a couple times a year while others need weekly grooming. It is beneficial to brush your dog about twice a week. Bathing your dog every month or two isn’t unreasonable, but some dogs will need more frequent cleanings.
A good rule of thumb is to bathe your pet only when his coat gets dirty or begins to smell “doggy”.
