ST. JAMES, Minn. (KEYC) — The eviction of the Watonwan County Humane Society has been put on hold.
With dozens of animals and nowhere to go, the humane society has been scrambling to find a suitable option for their relocation.
Now, that 90-day order has been suspended pending further negotiations with the city to allow the shelter to buy the city-owned property it has occupied for more than 24 years.
“It was really hard and was discouraging at times, but hearing from people is what made the difference for us. It was really heartwarming,” said Sue Leach, Treasurer of the organization.
