Volunteers and Foster Homes needed for Dogs & Cats

foster home needsSince the Humane Society of Logan County Shelter has been in operation the number of foster families has dwindled to almost none.  Granted, most of the animals can be taken directly to the shelter and kept there until they are adopted.  But, there are exceptions.  Consequently, foster families are still very, very important.

Forever Home Pet Cemetery

On Monday December 3, a small crowd gathered at the Humane Society of Logan County for the unveiling of the “Forever Home,” pet cemetery plans. Dennis Schrader and Marilyn Wheat headed the committee that has diligently worked on the plans with members Dan Bailey, Judy Conzo and Mick Turner. The first section of the cemetery will offer 610 plots for purchase. Each plot is 2 foot by 3 foot. As the first area becomes full there are places for many more plots to be created. Humane Society of Logan County President Ellen Burbage stated, “The main idea is that the cemetery will be a simple but nice final resting place for our pets.” The cemetery will be a park like place with a gazebo and pond. This beautifully planned and landscaped area will be for more than just a final resting place for beloved pets.

The project started about five months ago with fundraising projects and grants. The humane society has built the shelter and remained debt free and therefore the “Forever Home” committee members wanted to build the cemetery in the same manner. The cemetery also offers the humane society a way to earn income for the daily costs of the shelter. Dennis Schrader stated, “The cemetery will bring in about $102,000 from the plots alone. There will also be urns and granite stones for purchase.” The “Forever Home” pet cemetery will be primarily for cremated remains. Marilyn Wheat declared that the cemetery “will be a place for all pets no matter the size.”

Building of the “Forever Home” pet cemetery will begin in late spring 2013. However, the committee is still continuing to fund raise for the extra beatification plans for rose gardens, gazebo and exercise paths.
