New Pike County Animal Shelter Site Purchased
The Pike County Humane Society is happy to announce that it has purchased 4.4 acres on Lykins Creek to be the home of the new Animal Shelter.
The deal was consummated on Friday, July 18, when the Heirs of Hazel Allen conveyed the property for the sum of $152,000. The Allen Heirs graciously donated $32,000 of the purchase price to the Humane Society.
The property is an ideal location according to David Stratton, Board Member of the Humane Society. It is less than one-half mile past the railroad tracks behind Walter’s Toyota and approximately one mile from Wal-Mart.
The location gives the board the space to construct an indoor animal shelter that residents can be proud of.
