We’re really looking forward to tomorrow, Saturday, September 13th. We’ve got something special planned! It’s our monthly “Nail Day”, but it’s also going to be when we have our grand opening celebration and show off our newly remodeled Main Kennel! We have a lot of fun in store, so we hope to see you there. We’ll have a Microchip clinic, vendors (including a food vendor), giveaways… you’ll just have to check it out. If you haven’t come in to see what the Main Kennel looks like now, you should. We still need your help, we’ve still got to pay for this project. How can you help? At this point, we are in need of financial help, as this has been a huge undertaking. Please contact us about the major Challenge Grant going on, go to our website at www.mccookhumanesociety.com (you can donate right on our homepage), or just give us a call for more information. Give us a call at 308-345-2372, check it out on our FB page or our website. Thank you to all who have helped in any way that you can.
We’ll see you at the 2nd Annual Weiner Dog Races at Norris Park on Saturday, September 20th! You can start registering now (and get more information) at our website.
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… Nail trimming is essential for maintaining good health. If a dog’s nails are allowed to grow, they will curl over into a spiral shape; walking will become increasingly painful to the dog as they grow, putting pressure on the dogs’ toes (a bit like walking in shoes that are too small). Uncut nails may curl so far that they pierce the paw pad, leading to infection and debilitating pain. If one does not trim a dog’s nails on a monthly basis the quick will grow along with the nail, making it nearly impossible to cut properly.
