Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The Mower County Humane Society held its 25th Walk for the Animals on Sept 12, 2021. THANK YOU to all who had a hand in raising $11,700. One hundred percent will be used to rescue abandoned pets in Mower County.

The Mower County Humane Society is an all-volunteer group. Vet expenses for 2020 were $170,000, so these donations are greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU to Det. Derek Ellis and K9 Rudy for leading the walkers through Todd Park.  THANK YOU to Det. Ellis, K9 Rudy and officer Ryan Leif for the demonstration that showcased Rudy’s skills. It was a great show of skills, and the citizens present were very impressed.

Help make a positive difference in our community and spay or neuter your pet!
