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 (OCTOBER) Adopt-A-Kennel is in memory of Matthew Hoffman. Matt, an amazing young man in every sense of the word, was an animal lover who spent his life trying to rescue any animal in need. 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.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow, Saturday, October 11th, from 1pm until 2pm for “Nail Day”. It might not be as fun and event filled as last month, but we’ll be on hand trimming nails with our professional guest Amy Strauch of Four Winds Animal Clinic and lots of volunteer help. All trims are $6 (includes sales tax), or in lieu of that you can bring in something off of our Shelter’s Supply Wishlist.
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. If you’d like to make a contribution to help either of these funds continue, please make sure that you let us know that it’s for the fund. You can stop by, call us, email us, Facebook us, or reach out on the “Contact Us” form on our website for help.
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 you know… October is “Dogtober”! October is recognized as National “Adopt a Shelter Dog Month” by the ASPCA. If you don’t currently have the means to bring an animal into your home, that’s OK — you can still help by sharing information about adoptable animals in your area on your social media accounts. Follow your local shelters, and share posts from there. This way, everyone who follows you will catch a glimpse of the sweet fur babies in your area who need a home — and perhaps they’ll find their way to each other through your posts.
