The Passing of Co-Founder Rudy Klimo.

Pat Klimo's husband, best friend, and partner passed away Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at 1:15 pm in their home in Ringwood, surrounded by friends and family.

 Rudy was born Dec. 24, 1934, in Chicago, to Rudolph and Amelia (Sichman) Klimo. On Feb. 6, 1965, he married Patricia Swanson in Des Plaines.

A veteran of the U.S. Army, he served during the Korean War. He was a carpenter by trade and he built Pets In Need no-kill animal shelter in his home.

His survivors include his wife of 44 years, Pat Klimo; his brothers and sisters, Margo (Frank) Hauck, Paul (Kathleen) Klimo, Mary (Robert) Rose and Ron (Nedra) Swanson; his mother-in-law, Eva Staszel; many nieces and nephews, and his four personal dogs - Adam, Iris, Norbert, and Moose. To him, these were his 'kids'.

The visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 19, at Colonial Funeral Home, 591 Ridgeview Drive, McHenry.

The visitation will continue from 10 a.m. until the funeral at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 20, at the funeral home. Interment will be private for the family.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are much appreciated to:

Pets In Need, P.O. Box 58, Ringwood, IL 60072.

For additional information, call Colonial Funeral Home at 815-385-0063.

 

Dogs Still Need Homes.
We are in need of foster homes for several of our homeless dogs. We simply do not have enough homes for all of them.

If you can assist us by fostering a dog until they find a permanent home, please call us at 815-728-1462.

Thank you!

Purchase your Fromm Food from Reeses Barkery (Riverside Drive in McHenry) during the month of June and help raise funds for Pets In Need. (See calendar of events)


Pets In Need No-Kill Animal Shelter is
NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!

We are extremely grateful for the support we have received throughout the years and are happy to tell you that with your support we have helped approximately 18,000 pets find new homes. We continue to help those we can, but we need your support to continue our mission. Please consider becoming a supporting or contributing member today. 

Most of the animals come from people just like you. Some had allergies, lost their job or had to downsize their home and living style. Some have been called into active service in the military, others have gone through a divorce, separated or had a death in the family.

July 1, 2007 was the deadline for us to remove all Pets In Need animals from our personal property. We are happy to report that all of the animals were adopted, transferred to boarding kennels, or placed in foster homes. Our quest to find a new location for the shelter continues. The office still resides on South Ridgeway Road, Ringwood, IL.

Pets In Need is still here for the community. We are hoping to reestablish ourselves on A-1 zoned property. If you can help us with our quest, please contact us. There is a very urgent need for our services, and we desperately want to continue helping.

Until we have a new fully functional shelter, we will continue our operations as we have in the past with pet adoptions held each Saturday at the Algonquin PETsMART between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.  We will also be hosting adoptions at Reese's Barkery in McHenry on Riverside Drive, between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. the first Friday of each month, starting in August. Join us for our kickoff Friday, July 10th.

On behalf of all the animals, thank you for caring and God Bless You!
