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 (JUNE) Adopt-A-Kennel is in memory of Kathy Haas. Everyone who knew her, loved her and is missing this kind and generous lady, who went out of her way to help everyone (furry and non-furry alike). 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.
Upcoming:
The McCook Humane Society will be closed on Saturday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day.
Our next Nail Day event will be held on Saturday, July 11th.
Shelter Wish: Do you have a rubbermaid storage cabinet that you don’t need anymore? The McCook Humane Society needs to replace the metal storage cabinets with ones that we don’t have to keep sanding, scraping and painting over. The ones that we need to replace are 77inches high, 3ft wide with a depth of 20inches. If you’ve got anything like this around that you’re not using, we sure would love to “adopt” it and give them a good home! Thank you to all who help us out in every way that you do. We can’t do what we do without you.
At this time the spay/neuter reimbursement fees are still being waived for the felines. We will continue to waive the spay/neuter fees until the Linda Hedges/Mary Ellinger Memorial fund is depleted. We have truly seen a dramatic increase in the feline adoptions since we’ve been able to waive the spay/neuter fees for them, let’s see if it helps with their barking friends.

Did Ya Know… Fireworks (and thunderboomers) can be frightening for some pets (and some people). Please make sure that Rabies/ID tags are securely attached to your dogs collars, that the information is current with your vet and consider microchipping your pet. During this time, it’s unbelievable how many strays there are due to fireworks and outdoor activities. Pet ID is your pet’s way home! Hopefully, you’ve been prepping for this for the last few weeks. Another tip would be to exercise your pet before he/she goes to bed, a wore out pet will possibly sleep through the noise of the celebration.
We here at the McCook Humane Society are preparing for this season of fireworks and storms, we have faith that our awesome community will be taking such good care of their pets that we won’t have the major overflow of strays that typically come in over this holiday season.
