Animal Shelter Merger Proposal To Be Council Topic Monday

The Dalles City Council on Monday evening will consider a proposal from a Madras organization that is looking to merge with Home At Last Humane Society and operate the animal shelter in The Dalles.  Home At Last has been dealing with financial issues over the last couple of months, and the City, Wasco County, and the organization’s board have been seeking solutions.  The non-profit Central Oregon Animal Friends in Madras, whose executive director Stephen Drynan and his wife Jerilee were involved with Home At Last a number of years ago, has proposed merging with Home At Last and operating the shelter.  The City and Wasco County are both being asked to make a one-time contribution of $25,000 to help the merger go forward.  The City Council will consider the topic at their meeting on Monday at 5:30 p.m. in The Dalles City Hall.
