Our “Kennel Project” is nearing completion. How can you help? At this point, we are in need of financial help, as this has been a huge undertaking.

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 (July) Adopt-A-Kennel is from Dennis Reitz and in memory of “Emma”. Emma was Dennis’s best friend and companion for almost 11 years, since the day Emma adopted him at the McCook Humane Society. Emma has recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge and this is in honor and memory of her. We thank 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.
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.

Did you know… If your dog gets out, don’t chase him or her, in most cases that just makes it a game. Instead, lie or sit on the ground and pretend that your are hurt. A few loud “owwws” really add to the performance. Your furkid will (in most cases) come back to see if you are okay. Then you’ve got the escape artist. In all cases, if you’ve got your pet’s ID tags up to date, he or she will make it home a lot sooner. You can even have your contact number etched into the back of the rabies tag if you only want one tag on your furry family member.
