HOWELL, Mich. (AP) - A Livingston County animal rescue shelter that’s plagued by a failing septic system is now in need of a rescue itself.
Last Chance Rescue is trying to raise $50,000 through GoFundMe to either to connect to a nearby municipal sewer system or replace its failing septic and add a separate drainage field for animal waste.
County Health Department spokeswoman Chelsea Moxlow says if the Howell-area shelter’s septic issues aren’t resolved by Feb. 1, the agency will take action.
The Livingston Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports (https://bit.ly/2hA3ZDs ) the state-licensed nonprofit shelter takes in dogs and cats surrendered by owners and rescues animals from shelters that euthanize.
Last Chance Rescue Director Sharen Kizer says she’s scrambling to find adoptive parents, foster homes and non-kill shelters to house the shelter’s animals.
