To date, the Dutch-Memorial-Fund-For-Injured-Or-Abused-Animals has helped approximately 3 dozen animals (from various counties and states) with surgeries and other medical needs. Thanks to all who donated to the fund!! What a wonderful remembrance of Dutch! We hope for a day when no animals need it. We DO THANK everyone who donated to the Dutch Fund; however, we want to let everyone know that donations can still be given specifically for the Dutch Memorial Fund to help us continue helping these "extra needy cases." Just write on the memo line of your check: "for Dutch Fund."
While supplies last, the 2012 Calendars are reduced to a half price donation of $5.00 now through June.
There is a one month photo page that has recently become available and we'd love to feature a more unique pet (such as llamas, pygmy goats, potbelly pigs, miniature goats, horses, burros, or miniature horses, cockatoos). Also, there are still spaces available for "In Memory Of..." if you'd like to include your favorite beloved pet's photo. We also have space available for business advertising. For more information about prices, contact Bonnie at 309-944-4868 - deadline is end of June 2012. Donating his time, professional photographer Trent Foltz, and the pet families sponsorship covering the costs of the printing allows 100% of the $10.00 cost of the calendars to help the animals cared for by the Henry County Humane Society - Geneseo. We thank you for your donation; enjoy this wonderful calendar.

Despite a decrease from last year, we are thrilled with the numbers!

The Henry County Humane Society - Geneseo is a small, NO-Kill Animal Shelter. As of February 2008, we share the building with the City of Geneseo's Pound facilities. Our section of the building has four (4) dog kennels and a large cat area where the kittens and cats live in commune style. Our Humane Society is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit agency located at 14606 Roos Hill Road in Geneseo, Illinois, and is operated on donations from the public. All donations go directly to help with care of our animals while we look for a permanent home for them. We have five part time employees that have the responsibility of keeping the shelter clean, and hired Sheri Lindsey as a part-time shelter manager in February, 2010. The rest of the shelter work and fundraising is done totally by our volunteer organization. We are a growing group of caring volunteers. If you would like to help with the hands-on care of our Shelter Orphans or assist with the fundraising needs of the Humane Society, please call the Henry County Humane Society-Geneseo anytime at 309-944-4868.
If you get a recording, leave a message and we'll call you back as soon as possible.
All adoption fees are $50.00 for cats, $75.00 for dogs, and $100.00 for puppies. This fee includes all up to date vet work, spaying/neutering, microchipping and any other needed treatments. All animal adoptions have a contract to cover areas of care, health, return policy, and responsibility. Adopters will be contacted within one month after the adoption to assess the medical, behavioral and overall well-being of the adopted pet. Any animal adopted that is too young to be spayed/neutered must sign a contract that promises the animal will be altered once it reaches at least three pounds. Kittens will be spayed or neutered at Miller Vet Service in Atkinson, Illinois, at no cost to the adopter. (If you choose to use another veterinarian, your $50.00 adoption fee will be refunded when proof of the spay/neuter is presented to the Humane Society.) The Henry County Humane Society - Geneseo does reserve the right to refuse any adoption that we determine not to be in the best interest of the animal. The cost to the Humane Society to ready a pet for adoption is $180.00 for female cats, $135.00 for male cats, $240.00 for female dogs, and $205.00 for male dogs. We are allowed to continue our operations by your donations. If you would like to help with the cost to ready pets for adoption, please click the "Donate General Operating Expenses" button below, or send your donation to HCHS-G, P.O. Box 145, Geneseo, IL, 61254.
