THANKS to local media!

Thanks to KTVO, Kirksville Daily Express, KIRX's "Area Scene", and Truman Index for covering our third annual "Be a PAL -- Prevent a Litter" campaign.  Your support is making a difference for animals in northeast Missouri!

Certificates Gone; Other Incentives Continue All Month!

It was a busy day at the shelter today, as we issued ALL one hundred and forty of the $50 spay/neuter certificates. 

Remember, even if you did not get a certificate, our other incentives are still available:

1. Discounted rates on spay/neuter will be available at participating clinics through the month of March!
2. Anyone who spays/neuters their dog or cat during the month of March will qualify for our prize drawing!

Certificate Release for 2012 Campaign

Special spay/neuter certificates worth up to $50 will be available

• for people who could not otherwise afford to have their animals fixed
• beginning on Thursday, February 23 at 9:00 a.m. until supplies run out
• from the Adair County Humane Shelter on Hwy. 6 (West of Kirksville) 
• during regular shelter hours: Monday-Friday 9-4 and Saturday 9-12
• on a first-come, first-served basis (supplies are limited to 140)
• limit two per household except in extraordinary circumstances
• must be redeemed during the month of March 2012

Note: Funds for these certificates come from special donations from individuals who care deeply about the welfare of animals in this county and from two small grants; they do not come from the Shelter's regular, modest operating budget.  We reserve the right to refuse to give certificates to individuals at our discretion.

Pedigree Foundation Awards Grant!

On December 7, 2011 the Pedigree Foundation awarded the Adair County Humane Society a grant of $891.  This grant will fund (in part) our Prevent a Litter 2012 campaign.  We are grateful for this recognition and support of our efforts to help more dogs find homes!

Late Spring Progress Report

Although 2011 was only the second year of the campaign, we have already seen a remarkable decrease in the number of dogs and puppies brought to the shelter: more spay/neuter has led to fewer unwanted animals.  Our shelter manager reports that she has seen many fewer puppies coming into the shelter recently and that we have taken in only one pregnant dog so far this spring. 

Sadly, the number of cats and kittens coming into the shelter remains high.  It may take several years for the results of our efforts to affect the feline community.  Please spread the word: spay or neuter your cats!

212 Dogs/Cats Fixed!

110 cats and 102 dogs were spayed/neutered during our March 2011 "Be a PAL -- Prevent a Litter" campaign!

Well done, northeast Missouri!  Thanks to you, there will soon be fewer unwanted animals in our area!

[This total was determined by the number of $50 coupons used and the number of prize drawing entry forms received; care was taken to avoid counting the same animal twice.]
