Working Together

The HSMC is a completely separate organization from the McDonough County Animal Shelter, but the HSMC
assists the animals at the shelter by:
• promoting the adoption of homeless pets at the shelter
• contributing $35 toward the spay/neuter of qualifying animals adopted from the shelter
• facilitating rescues from the shelter
The HSMC has increased spay/neuters and saved lives that would otherwise have been lost. We do not believe
a loyal companion should be euthanized simply because: their family could no longer care for them; they were
too old; or any number of other reasons perfectly fine animals end up at a shelter.
