Shelter FAQs
We're the municipal animal shelter for McHenry County, IL. Many wonderful pets are found as strays in the cities around McHenry County, and we give them refuge at the shelter until their families reclaim them. Unfortunately, some dogs, and a great many cats, are never reclaimed by their families.
When stray pets aren't reclaimed by an owner, we spay/neuter the cat or dog, give them all the necessary (age-appropriate) shots, and microchip them. They're then moved into our Adoption Center to wait for their new family to discover them!
