2021 ANIMAL STORIES MAGAZINE

Page 10 2021 PET MAGAZINE LINCOLN DAILY NEWS JANUARY 21, 2021 strongly emphasizes the importance of spaying or neutering. Looking to the future, Cale’s plan remains the same, to get as many animals out as possible. She sees that there is a need for good animals that don’t deserve to be out there. Not all the animals in the pound were caught running loose or a nuisance. In 2020, there has been a rise in owners relinquishing their pets. Logan County Animal Control currently averages 400 intakes a year. Some cats and dogs are reclaimed by their owners. In this past year LCAR made 260 saves. Over the past 11 years, Cale’s love of animals and those she works with has given 2,768 cats and dogs a second chance. But, as Cale quotes others who are in strong agreement, “These are not just numbers. These are lives!” [Jan Youngquist] If you would like to assist LCAR, Cale says there is always room.
