As kennels are filling up and space is becoming limited, the Knox County Humane Society is taking steps to encourage adoptions by waiving fees, shares Executive Director Erin Buckmaster:
“We are extremely full at the shelter, like every other shelter in the United States. We have some wonderful pets there. We have waived fees and the pets are fixed, microchipped, and they are current on shots. If you have a pet, bring it out and we will do a meet and greet. We have some really nice dogs there. All of them are nice. All of them are wonderful. We have a Beagle, we have a Shepherd, we have a Hound-Pyrenees mix. We just have a lot of dogs that need homes and so many cats that are adorable too.”
The Knox County Humane Society, located at 1855 Windish Drive in Galesburg, is open Mondays through Fridays noon to 5 pm and Saturdays noon to 4 pm.
