From the Shelter. . .

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 (SEPTEMBER) Adopt-A-Kennel is for Lily's family, "Sept. 4th was 30 Mondays without Lily" This month is sponsored by a dear friend of the family, for them. Ask about our "Adopt-A-Kennel Program"... 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.
This week's Wishlist: We really need some gently used bath towels. Thank you, to all of you who bring us much needed supplies and donations, all of us here at the McCook Humane Society just want you to know that you are appreciated more than you can know.
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.

Did Ya Know:
If you do decide to add a puppy to your family, one of the first things that you'll notice is the the nipping and biting. Puppy nipping and biting is a normal behavior and is generally due to a lack of self-control or understanding. Puppies learn bite inhibition through play biting, which teaches them how much pressure they can apply with their teeth. Nipping and biting is instinctive and tends to peak during the teething stage. It is a way for puppies to establish their place in their doggy family's 'pecking order. Through play, interaction, socialization and training, this soon will pass.
