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 (AUGUST) 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.
We are gearing up for the 3rd Annual Weiner Dog Races, coming up during Heritage Days! Time to get those little legs working out!
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.
We are very thankful to the generous folks who come in and donate the adoption fees for some of our available furry family members. At the moment, cats: “GoldWhisker”, and dogs: “Vader” and “Hall”, all are sponsored! What does that mean exactly? It means that these three are absolutely no charge to an approved applicant, thanks to the generosity of the kind souls that made the donation.

Did ya know…
Ice Bucket Treats are Cool. This treat needs to be made the night before, but it’s well worth the effort. Find a small bucket that will fit in your freezer. Then gather together a variety of treats; these could include the same treats you used in the kiddie pool or some small chunks of cooked meat or dog treats. Fill the bucket about three quarters full of water and put it in the freezer until it’s slushy. Take it out of the freezer, stir it well and then mix in the treats. Put it back in the freezer until frozen and it’s time to give to your dog. Dump the frozen block of ice out of the bucket outside and let your dog have fun with it. He’ll slide it around, lick it, lie on it, rest his head on it, chew it and keep himself cool for quite a while.
