If you have an animal shelter, it is most appropriate that you have a mascot.
At the Kankakee County Humane Foundation, that role falls to "bear."
Bear is a two-year old shepherd/pitbull mix that was adopted by shelter director Laura Webber and her husband Andy, of Herscher. Bear was a frozen found puppy when he was taken in. Now appropriately he's lap dog in Sunday afternoons, watching the Bears play. The couple and their six-year-old son Riley also have cats Cubby and Sox. There is, however, no hockey- or basketball-themed pets.
But there are plenty of pets that need to be adopted, and lots of touching stories at the shelter, which is located at 2214 S. Illinois Route 1, St. Anne. The building was once a fruit stand and has been used as a shelter for 30 years now. The Humane Foundation and the groups the preceded it now date back 50 years.
