SHELTER NEWS UPDATE

On May 14, 2007 we moved into our temporary office, adoption center and cat shelter. I’ve included some pictures of the murals below in the adult cat area that was painted by the Greenville High School Art Class.  The layer cake and sheet cake were donated by Elegant Edibles in Greenville for our Open House on April 29, 2007.  The layer cake had pictures of animals that have been adopted from BCHS.  One picture is of volunteers in the reception area.  There is also a picture of the building.  The building is owned by Bond County and was going to be demolished.  Instead of destroying the building BCHS came in and renovated the interior to make it suitable for our purposes.  Bond County is leasing the building to BCHS for $1/year.  This is a temporary facility until funding can be obtained to construct our permanent shelter on the 3 acres of land donated in 2006.

In January 2002 the Governor of Illinois allowed for the issuance of Pet Friendly license plates.  Proceeds from these plates go into a pet overpopulation fund to provide money for spaying and neutering Illinois companion dogs and cats. 

To register for Pet Friendly license plates please visit the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles website.
