(KNZA)--Representatives of the Brown County Humane Society meet with Brown County Commission Monday to ask for a donation from the county.
Meeting with the Commission were Ruth Shaver and Phyllis Shaefer.
Shaefer said the organization is funded entirely through donations and fund raisers.
She said she believes they provided a valuable service to the county.
Shaefer said they took in 368 dogs and cats last year at their shelter, with 65 percent of those coming from Brown County.
She said their operating costs last year ran nearly $90,000. Shaefer noted the majority of their labor is provided by volunteers but they do have three part-time employees.
Commissioners tabled a decision on the request, saying they would like to talk it over first.
In other business, Commission Chairman Keith Olsen presented a plaque to Jim Schuetz of Horton in recognition of his 20 years of service to the county.
Schuetz recently retired as a senior citizens taxi driver in southern Brown County.
