Through our Kind Kids program, children of any age learn humane treatment and care of animals, and kindness and compassion.

Kind News
Kind News is an eight-page, bimonthly magazine for elementary-school age children. The theme of Kind News is kindness to people and animals and respect for natural habitats. The magazine’s emphasis on values, such as fairness, compassion, and respect, encourages good character in children, and its colorful design, simple vocabulary, and engaging subject matter help get children into the reading habit. The magazine is available in three reading levels: Primary - grades K-2 Junior - grades 3-4 Senior - grades 5-6 Click here for Kind News samples.

Fundraising is FUN!
Scott County Humane Society relies on donations to continue helping hundreds of kittens, puppies, cats and dogs. Money is a welcome gift because it helps us to help more animals! You can hold a bake sale, a car wash, lemonade stand, or some other fundraiser at your school or in your neighborhood, and donate the money you raise Scott County Humane Society.

Eight things you can do today for your pet!

1. Ask your parents if your pet is spayed or neutered! A spayed or neutered pet is a happier and healthier pet!
2. Get an I.D. tag for your dog or cat. This tag will have your pet's name, your name, your address, your phone number, and possibly your veterinarian's phone number on it. That way, if your pet ever gets lost, someone can contact you, and you and your pet can be reunited. A pet without an I.D. tag may never find its way home, and if someone finds it, it can't tell them where it lives! You can purchase a cool pet tag for $5.00 from Scott County Humane Society so your pet has one, and every dollar goes to help the animals in our care.
3. Feed your pet the proper food. Dog food for dogs, cat food for cats, puppy food for puppies...you get the idea! Pets should not eat "people food" unless it is recommended by your pet's veterinarian.
4. Go to the library and read books about your pet. You can learn all sorts of things about how to train your pet, how to care for your pet, and how to have fun with your pet!
5. Make sure your pet has access to fresh, clean water at all times, especially when the weather is hot! Since pets do not sweat, they can overheat quickly and possibly die. Change your pets' water at least every 12 hours.
6. If it is bad weather outside and you do not want to be outside, your pet does not want to be either! Be sure you bring your pet inside so they can be safe and comfortable.
7. Exercise your dog or cat EVERY day! It is good for you AND your pet. Play ball with your dog and drag toys for your cat to chase and pounce on. The more time you spend with your pet, the happier he will be!
8. Clean up after your pet. No one wants a smelly house or to step in dog poop! Cat litter boxes should be scooped twice a day (before school and before bedtime are good times to do this). Dog poop should be picked up in plastic bag right after your pet goes to the bathroom. Make sure you always take a few bags with when you walk your dog so you can clean up right away!
