The McCook Humane Society will be closed on Saturday, August 30th, (we’re always closed on Sundays), and Monday, September 1st, in observance of Labor Day. Have a very fun, happy and safe Labor Day holiday weekend.
We’re really looking forward to Saturday, September 13th. It’s our monthly “Nail Day”, but this one will be special. It’s 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… 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.
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… How can I teach my puppy not to bite? Several times daily for a few weeks, let your pup mouth/play bite until he exerts more pressure than usual. Then say, “Ouch!” loud enough that he’s surprised and stops biting. At the same time, you should stop playing for a few seconds so he associates the end of play with exerting too much pressure. Repeat until he plays with only soft mouthing. If he doesn’t get the idea, just stop playing or move away whenever he bites too hard. He’ll learn soon enough that mouthing too hard ends play.
