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 (JUNE) Adopt-A-Kennel is in memory of a very loving and special woman, Jan Kotschwar. Jan loved every one she met, furry or non-furry, and would help anyone. 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’ve had some very loving people come in and sponsor adoptions to help make sure that our temporarily homeless furry friends find homes for the holidays. Come on in and see who’s adoption fees have been completely paid for: Master Po, Barney, Malibu, Sir Pumpkin and Dante. Some wonderful pets have found truly amazing forever homes because of these generous people.
Spay/Neuter Fees waived… A wonderfully generous anonymous donor has decided that it was time to let the dog’s at the shelter get help in finding homes also. This friend of the shelter started a spay/neuter reimbursement fund for them because, as she said, “they need help finding permanent loving homes also”. So, spay/neuter fees will be waived on all dogs who have been available for adoption for over 30 days, until this fund is depleted. 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 ya know… One of our country’s most festive holidays is right around the corner. Please remember that some of our family members, furry and non-furry alike have a harder time celebrating the Fourth of July. To help our furry family members, now is the time to secure fences, refill anxiety meds, update pet ID (tags and microchip info). It’s time to set up that safe/quiet spot for your pet while there’s time to figure out what works best for him or her. Talk with your vet, talk to your neighbors and let them know who your dog is, have a plan. It takes a village, a community, but what an awesome thing to be able to report… no strays were brought in to the Shelter over the Fourth of July weekend. Let’s be ready. Fireworks are coming.
HAPPY TAILS! The following pets were adopted: Barbie, Ken, Jager, Boo, Cricket, Grasshopper, Orla, Callie and Ember!
