We started Bond County Adopt-A-Pet in June of 1992.
Our board members are: Oliver Stowe, DVM, Debbie Haughland
and Jim and Mary Price. Attorney William Dillow donated all his legal
fees and filing fees to help get us started.
Hundreds of dogs pass through the dog pound here in Bond County. Some abandoned, neglected and abused. Some are just brought there because it is no longer convenient for their owners to have them. Most are the product of irresponsible people who allow their dogs to breed. A very small percentage of the animals are placed into homes. But - since 1992 - there have been 250-400 healthy, adoptable dogs destroyed in Bond County EACH YEAR. Our goal is to one day have a shelter built for homeless dogs and cats. Bond County has no facilities for cats. We need your help!
Through donations we are able to pay for medical care, vaccinations,
and most importantly spaying and neutering before placing the animals
into permanent homes. Please have your pet spayed or neutered and
urge your friends and neighbors to do the same! There just aren't enough homes for them all! Together, we can make a difference!
