To All Plymouth County Residents:

The January 24th Sen-tinel article, “Put a Leash On It,” was interesting and timely. It is good for us to know that our police department has humane policies and procedures for apprehending and car-ing for stray dogs. Their responsibility for the dogs, however, is for a very short time period, and the dogs are then relinquished to some other facility. The comment, “The animal is then transported to a res-cue service or the Humane Society,” is very pertinent, because the only rescue services available at this time are in Woodbury County: Noah’s Hope, Sioux City Police Rescue, and Siouxland Humane Society. Plymouth County has none of its own, and the aforementioned agen-cies are always overloaded. We need to take care of our own rescues.

Wet-Nose Rescue/Plym-outh County Shelter And Adoption is an organiza-tion dedicated to alleviate that very immediate and desperate problem. WET-NOSE was organized in the summer of 2019 by a small group of dedicated people. We have worked since then, to become an official ani-mal rescue organization. It

is not an easy task, because it involves many legalities, as well as the enormous job of raising money and finding property, unfortu-nately, we don’t have any facilities or foster homes.

We have met with both county and city leaders, and they were supportive of our efforts; however, in order to move forward, the need is for immediate funding to open and oper-ate a shelter on a full time basis. It will take much money, time, and commit-ment from a lot of people and we need your help.

We know that many Plymouth County resi-dents have deep concern for animals of all kinds.

There are numerous ways to help us care for them, and that is why we are asking you to join us on Monday, Feb. 10, at 6:30 p.m., at the Plym-outh County Historical Museum gymnasium, for a “Paws to Volunteer” rally. Come to become better acquainted, and to learn about the numerous ways to assist in our efforts. We desperately need all of you to help to care for the “four footed ones.”
