LETTER: Humane Society needs more help

I would like to bring attention to the present situation with the Spencer County Humane Society.

From what I have learned and to my knowledge, only one person works at the Humane Society on Spears Drive. After multiple attempts over a period of several days trying to reach that person by telephone, website and even driving there, I was unable to contact anyone.

Are tax dollars being spent for this service? If so, and even if not, someone needs to be there on a regular basis.

I would like to suggest hiring more people or for that person to set up a schedule. In my opinion the lack of having an active Humane Society has increased the number of dogs found wandering around the county and found dead on the sides of the roads. How can this problem be resolved and who is the one to correct it?
