It was a milestone for many area residents when ground was finally broken on the new Lincoln County Animal Shelter on Wednesday, Oct. 9. Public officials, pet lovers and a few of their four-legged friends gathered at the site of the new animal shelter on Southwest Dahl Avenue in Waldport. It consists of two acres located just south of the Waldport schools.
Sheriff Curtis Landers, whose department oversees the operation of the animal shelter, welcomed those in attendance, saying, “It is a ‘paw’-some day to break ground on our new animal shelter, where we’ll be providing a new ‘leash’ on life for so many animals in need.” For many years, the animal shelter has been located on the east side of Northeast Harney Street next to the Lincoln County Commons (fairgrounds) See SHELTER, page A8
