[June 16, 2011]  The new shelter is finished. The cages are in place as the shelter begins to get ready for the many orphaned animals looking for a loving home. Only one thing is left -- volunteers to man the new shelter are needed.

The board of directors of the Humane Society of Logan County will host an open house for volunteers and members on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the shelter, 1801 E. Lincoln Parkway. The community is invited for a sneak peek at the facility.

If you are unable to attend and want to volunteer, call 217-737-4042 or email info@hslclincoln.org. The organization hopes to begin volunteer training in July.

In a letter, Ellen Burbage, organization president, expressed thanks to the community and solicited volunteers:

On behalf of the HSLC Board, I would like to express a heartfelt thank you to every person who has helped the Humane Society of Logan County realize the dream of building a Shelter. If you have attended or volunteered at a dog wash, bake sale, purse sale, Ales for Tails, Paws for Claws, cook-out, chili lunch, pancake breakfast, rummage sale, given us dog food, cat food, or other animal supplies, provided a space for our activities, fostered, adopted a dog or cat, or just wished us well, we thank you.

The success of the HSLC shelter going forward will depend on the dedication and willingness of our volunteers. We will need your help everyday of the year. Caring for abandoned, abused and neglected dogs and cats is a huge responsibility. We are counting on those of you who expressed a desire to volunteer at the shelter.
