[September 26, 2013]  The Humane Society of Logan County invites all pets and their owners to a blessing of animals, in the spirit of St. Francis. The ceremony will be on Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. at the Humane Society, 1801 E. Lincoln Parkway in Lincoln. The Forever Home Pet Cemetery, located on the grounds, will also be dedicated and officially opened.

Pastor Tami Werschey from Hartsburg United Methodist Church and the Rev. Mark Evans from Trinity Episcopal Church will conduct the dedication of the cemetery and the blessing of the animals.

Pets should be leashed or crated.

The pet cemetery is the most recent program of the HSLC, created to fulfill a need in Logan County and provide a source of income to support the shelter.

Visitors will be invited to tour the shelter and meet the newest adoptable pets. Donations of pet food for the shelter and pantry will also be accepted.
