All Sixty $50 Coupons Have Been Claimed!

As of today, all sixty of our special $50 "Prevent a Litter" spay/neuter certificates have been claimed.  If you were lucky enough to receive one of these certificates, remember that they must be redeemed before the end of March.  If you did not receive a certificate, remember that you can still receive a discounted rate for spay/neuter this month at several local veterinarians PLUS enter your name in a prize drawing. 

Please spread the word: this is the month to spay/neuter your dog or cat!

Introducing our "Be a PAL -- Prevent a Litter" March Campaign!

The Adair County Humane Society is introducing a new campaign whereby we provide incentives for people to spay/neuter their cats and/or dogs during the month of March. 

This campaign has three components:

• sixty spay/neuter coupons worth up to $50 are available for people those in financial need;
  
  
• several local veterinarians are reducing their rates for spay/neuter during the month of March;
  
  
• anyone who spays or neuters their dog or cat during the month will be eligible to win a prize in our drawing.  Our GRAND PRIZE will be a Nintendo Wii gaming console, courtesy of anonymous private donors.  Local businesses (such as Pawsitive Animalworks, Tractor Supply, Kirksville Feed and More, and Walmart) have generously donated gift certificates and merchandise for additional prizes. 

Our goal is to help spay/neuter 60 cats and/or dogs during March of 2010.

We hope that the community at large will join us and support this goal in whatever way that it can – through donations, discounts, and positive publicity.

Thank you for your interest and support.

ASPCA Grant!

Terrific news!  The ASPCA has awarded us a $1,500 grant for our March 2010 spay/neuter initiative, Be a PAL, Prevent a Litter!  This matches $1500 from local donors and means that we can give away twice as many certificates!

Give a girl a break!

This mama dog was one of fifteen pregnant animals (8 cats and 7 dogs) who were dropped off at the Adair County Humane Society in the spring of 2009.  Folks at the shelter do what they can, but eight weeks is a long time to care for so many mamas, puppies, and kittens.  Because of this experience, we decided to work harder to promote spay/neuter next spring.
