A small humane society like PEHS depends on the efforts of a great many people-people who love animals and want what’s best for them; people who want to bring their talents and skills to the table to help us help animals. We’d like to recognize a handful of these special people, and let everyone know just how much their efforts mean!

Every year during “kitten season”, adult cats in animal shelters are overlooked by potential adopters. Once the kittens have all been adopted we know adult cat adoptions will increase, but spending months on end in a shelter is not good for any animal! To get these lovely kitties into a home environment while they await their chance at adoption, PEHS created the Feline Companion Program. From May to October each year, adoptable adult cats can live in a foster home with a senior citizen who may otherwise not be able to have a cat.

PEHS’s Feline Companion Program is designed to give seniors who cannot undertake full time pet ownership the opportunity to temporarily enjoy the company of an adult cat.

The program also gives the adult cat a break from living in our shelter    Read more »

Grandmas and grandpas are the greatest-ask any kid!        
We at PEHS love it when our animals go to homes where they bring joy to more than one generation,
so we have created a program to help get animals into grandma’s (and grandpa’s) house.

It’s called “Pet Lover Adoptions for Seniors”:
Any approved adopter over the age of 55 is eligible to receive a discount of 50%  on the stated adoption fee for any cat over the age of 1 year or any dog over the age of 5 years.

(The animal must live with the senior adopter-sorry, gifts don’t count.)

But you don’t have to have grandkids to love a pet.
We want to increase our adoptions to all senior citizens no matter how big their family!

Prairie’s Edge Humane Society is filled with cats
and dogs who would love to be part of your family-
call us or stop in and meet them.
