Crown Point doesn’t have a place to house its stray and unwanted dogs and cats, but there are animal lovers determined to see one built in the city soon.
The new facility to take in and care for animals won’t be called a humane society or animal shelter, but will carry the name “New Leash on Life.”
Having recently returned from a four-day Humane Society conference in San Antonio, Texas, she is now moving forward with a capital fundraising campaign, replete with charitable events and pushing toward an accelerated schedule that would see groundbreaking on the facility occur this fall. She is also looking to tap corporate sponsorships and grant programs to fund the construction and long-term operations.
Crown Point’s lack of an animal shelter is a critical issue for residents, and animals, as the city has no other alternative than to turn them over to Lake County Animal Control — provided there’s room to take them in. Animals outside municipal jurisdictions have first dibs on space, Pace says, so there is the potential of a dog or cat found in Crown Point being left out on the streets.
Pace noted that once New Leash on Life opens, Crown Point could lease out space by accepting animals from nearby communities that use the county services too, such as Lowell and Cedar Lake.
