Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

 To the editor:Logan County
Animal Rescue (LCAR) is an all-volunteer group that works together
to save the lives of the animals of Logan County.
We transport dogs and cats to No-kill shelters around Illinois. When
a No-kill shelter commits to saving the life of a Logan County
animal, our group pays the medical expenses which can be costly. One
medical test typically runs around $20 per animal. Cats require a
Combo test (FIV/AIDS) and dogs require a DHPP (Distemper) and a
Heartworm test before they are allowed on a transport. This is to
ensure the health and safety of all animals on the transport.
In order for LCAR to save and transport more animals, we need your
help. Any monetary donation is greatly appreciated. We are a 501C3
and all donations are tax deductible. You can send a donation
through the mail to LCAR at 750 Prairie St., Lincoln, Il. 62656 or
you may visit our website
http://www.logancounty animalrescue.com/ and donate
through our PayPal button.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.
Sincerely,
Logan County Animal Rescue

Editor’s note: While the public
entity charged with public safety and health through animal control,
Logan County Animal Control, tries to adopt out as many of the
animals brought in to its facility as they can, there is a limited
time each animal can be kept there and there are always more animals
than can be adopted out. One of the biggest ways the Animal Rescue
affects Logan County pets is by transporting worthy animals to a
no-kill shelter.
Additional information can be found on the LCAR website including
these statistics on lives saved:
In 2016, LCAR rescued 295 animals out of Animal Control.
In 2015, LCAR rescued 201 animals out of Animal Control.
In 2014, LCAR rescued 119 animals out of Animal Control.
In 2013, LCAR rescued 144 animals out of Animal Control.
In 2012, LCAR rescued 155 animals out of Animal Control.
In 2011, LCAR rescued 147 animals out of Animal Control.
In 2010, LCAR rescued 231 animals out of Animal Control.
In 2009, LCAR rescued 239 animals out of Animal Control.
Your donation will save worthy pet lives. [Posted
