Christian County’s Fiscal Court Tuesday morning opted once again to enter into agreements with Trigg and Todd counties — allowing for strays in those communities to be housed and cared for in the Christian County Regional Animal Shelter.
Prior to this agreement, intake for such animals in, and around, Cadiz was at the county’s road garage, while citizens of Elkton, Trenton and Guthrie have consistently brought animals back toward Hopkinsville.
Per Judge-Executive Jerry Gilliam, these agreements do come with financial backing from both Trigg and Todd counties.
