Group proposes animal sheltering for St. Lucie County January 22, 2021 at 11:20 AM EST - Updated January 22 at 11:20 AM
The City of Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County could be one step closer to getting a fresh start in serving the homeless animals in their communities.
WPTV was the first station to uncover the mismanagement of the previous Humane Society of St. Lucie County in 2018, where poor inspection results, financial struggles, transparency issues, and questionable leadership created a tense relationship between previous shelter leadership and the municipalities.
That culminated in 2019 when a volunteer at the shelter’s Fort Pierce location on Savannah Road was mauled to death.
