to handle - a number estimated

The need for the lead position
came up late last year when the
Bastrop County Humane Soci-
ety announced that it was clos-
ing its doors on January 1.
Since then, county officials

officer was hired
Initially, the county planned
to hold all seized dogs at the
Humane Society.
When those plans fell
through, the county looked to
join with city animal control ef-
forts.
Though the county's new fa-
cility will be owned and oper-
ated by the county, the Humane
Society will not be completely
