Commission sets aside money for animal care

For the last two months, advocates for animal rights have attended the Tallapoosa County Commission meetings. People such as Jennie Zinn, founder of the Lake Martin Animal Sanctuary, and Don Harper have asked the commissioners to open a pound.

Tuesday’s meeting was no different as Harper told the commission about an incident on Sept. 29 where he said a child in Dadeville was attacked and had to be sent to Birmingham for further treatment. He asked the commissioners for an update, to which Steve Robinson said, “We are actively working on that.”
