Winter Hours: Through the months of January and February, The McCook Humane Society revert to our Winter Hours of Mon, Wed through Friday from 2pm until 5pm and Saturdays from Noon until 4pm. Closed to the public on Tuesdays and Sundays. If there are any emergencies, they will be taken care of.
We’re really looking foward to this month’s edition of our “NAIL DAY”, tomorrow, Saturday, January 10th, from 1pm until 2pm. Our professional Nail Trimmer will be Amy Strauch of Four Winds Animal Clinic. Trims are $6 (which includes sales tax), or in lieu of that you may bring something in off our Shelter wish list (found on our facebook page). Must bring proof of rabies vaccination, and remain on leash (no retractable leashes).
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 (JANUARY) Adopt-A-Kennel is in memory of Carol Bridgman. Carol, a very special lady who would quickly point out that animals do speak. She would quickly point out that Dogs comfort us by resting their head on your lap when you cry, Cats use their gentle purr to quiet your anxieties and help your tired heart… And these were just part of how they speak to us. 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.
NOT UGLY SWEATERS, just free ones. It’s that time of year… with the cold weather upon us, we’ve got our annual Free Sweater Giveaway going on. We don’t want to see any of our furry friends going without that extra protection, so drop on by and grab a free sweater from the basket.
We’re gearing up for a very special fundraising event. The Twentieth Annual (yes, you read that correctly, it is our TWENTIETH annual) “Shoot for the Shelter” Pool Tournament. It’s coming up fast. It’s on Saturday, January 31st, held at TJ’s Family Fun Center. Pre-Registration will start Monday, January 5th, and end on Monday, January 19th.

Did you know… Please remember that the Five-Second-Rule also applies in the cold months. Place your hand, palm up, on the surface that you are intending to walk your dog on. If you cannot hold it there for five seconds, then that is not a suitable place to walk your pet. Also watch for other common hazards such as anti-freeze and non-pet friendly salt.
