A group hoping to establish an animal sanctuary in Clear Lake have experienced a set back, but are still determined to locate a forever home for cats and dogs at risk of unnecessary euthanasia here.

Judy Siems, founder and executive director of the non-profit Glady Mae Animal Sanctuary in Minnetonka, Minn., said the property she had hoped to purchase in Clear Lake for care, rehabilitation, training and end-of-life care for dogs and cats has been sold.  She is continuing to look for a site.
