(Richmond, IN)--A proposal is gaining steam in Wayne County to create a new, larger animal shelter.  There is currently between $10 and $13 million that the county will have available for projects that the community would support through the Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program.  According to one organizer of the effort, strays and abandoned animals are currently taken to New Castle.  Those organizers now want a new, local shelter to be built in honor of fallen RPD Officer Seara Burton based on her love and animals and her canine partner, Brev.  They’re asking for the public to contact Wayne County Commissioners to express support for the idea.
