VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES |
Volunteers continue to staff our adoption days, general cleaning, returning phone messages, contact rescue groups, transport dogs, man fund raisers, and foster dogs. This summer, a pet care program presentation for children was organized and given at the Brookfield library. This program is available to all Linn County elementary schools throughout the school year. |
FUND RAISERS |
Fund raising project this year include the annual lunch ( cooked by the Masons ) and silent auction at the
Marceline Masonic Lodge, a booth at the Marceline 4th of July celebration, and collecting used cell phones and computer
printer cartridges. Devoy-Baker Insurance in Brookfield and Murry's Store in Marceline are year round collection points
for cell phones and printer cartridges.
Feel free to call the shelter ( 660-258-3322 ) about questions, suggestions, or volunteer offers. |
It is our goal to find a loving, caring, and safe home for every animal who is brought to the shelter. Many more animals come to our shelter than we are able to adopt out in our local area. To meet our goal, Eleanor Ravens has contacted animal shelters and rescue groups in Kansas City, Des Moines, St. Louis, Warrensburg, and other areas to see if they could place our adoptees. These shelters are not as overwhelmed with new pets and can locate excellent homes for our homeless animals. All we need to do is deliver them to the shelters or rescue groups. If you can help transport dogs and puppies, please call Eleanor. We have applied for a grant that would help us to purchase an all weather trailer designed specially to transport dogs and cats to shelters. Until then, even one trip will enable us to find good home for dogs and cats placed in our care. |
Family Memberships are $50 and Individual Memberships are $20. Simply drop us a line, enclosing your check, to PO Box 66, Brookfield, MO 64628. Please invite a new family or individual to become a Humane Society Supporter in 2007. It is our goal to increase our members in 2007. Please help us reach our goal. |

In recognition of our spay/neuter program, Petco awarded a grant for $745 to the
shelter. Our Spay/Neuter Program grants $15 for spaying and $10 for neutering to owners who spay and neuter
their dog or cat. The funds are issued through local veterinaries who deduct the grant from the final bill of the owner.
The shelter then reimburses the veterinaries.
