A free service that entitles our veterans for discounts and incentives at local businesses
June 19, 2014 - Belvidere, IL - The Boone County Clerk & Recorder's Office, in partnership with Fidlar Technologies, is excited to announce a new service for our Veterans, known as, Honor Rewards. With Honor Rewards, Veterans can sign-up at our office or online to receive an Honor Rewards card, which qualifies them for discounts and incentives at participating businesses in our community. This service is being made available at no cost to the County and its taxpayers.
To sign up, all a veteran needs to do is visit www.honorrewards.com, click on Boone County, IL and fill out the form. If an individual prefers to fill out the form with us instead of online, they can visit our office at 1212 Logan Ave, Suite 103 and we will help them get signed up. We are open Monday - Friday from 8:30am - 5:00pm. The service is completely free and after signing up the veteran can expect to receive their Honor Rewards ID card in the mail in 2-4 weeks.
Local businesses and retailers can participate in the service by contacting our office or using the Business Sign-up link on www.honorrewards.com. By participating, their business name will be listed on the Honor Rewards website for Boone County, provided to Veterans who receive an Honor Rewards card, and also be regularly mentioned in email blasts to current Honor Rewards members. In addition, we will provide participating businesses with promotional materials like door stickers and flyers to promote their involvement.

Animal Service: Information Question of the Month
Q) How long are animals held after they are impounded?
A) Any animal with identification such as a rabies license or identification tag or a microchip must be held seven (7) days for an owner to reclaim the animal. It is required that a notice of impound letter be sent when an animal is received that has identification.
Dogs that do not have any identification are held for five days. On the fifth day, the animal can be placed for adoption or transferred to a licensed rescue. Dogs without identification that are not deemed adoptable due to health or temperament issues are still held for seven (7) days to give an owner opportunity to reclaim the animal. The exception to this would be a health issue that the Veterinary Administrator would decide that the animal should be euthanized for humane purposes.
There is no holding period for cats as they are generally not accepted at this time unless they are sick, injured, or have bitten someone. Occasionally Animal Services receives owner surrender cats that are healthy. These cats are transferred to a licensed rescue.
