UPDATE 12/27/09: Note change of meeting place!
PEORIA -- Want input on what should happen at the Peoria Animal Shelter? Animal advocates will meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 28 at the Peoria Barnes & Noble Bookstore, now Panache, at Sheridan Village.
The city of Peoria recently dumped the animal shelter costs into the ditch for Peoria County government to pick up. The county says it's willing to take the responsibility, but state law does not require much of counties.
So -- here's chance for the county to show the city how the shelter should be run, by turning it into a no-kill shelter and getting grants from Maddie's Fund to do that. This should be the first item on the meeting agenda.
