Hickman, KY City Animal Shelter

This is a sad story, with a happy ending, thanks to someone caring enough to get involved. A local man was disgusted with the inhumane conditions that animals were living in, at the Hickman, KY city animal shelter and he took pictures to prove it.

The kennels at the Hickman, KY city animal shelter were full of feces and had not been cleaned for a week. The dogs had not been fed for two days, and many had no water. The place was swarming with thousands of mosquitos, causing the dogs to itch their skin raw.

Pictures were taken of the conditions of the Hickman, KY city animal shelter and turned in to the city commissioner, Michael Farmer. Upon investigation, the city animal shelter in Hickman, KY was even worse than the pictures. Ok, I promised a happy ending and here it is...

The Fulton County Jailer set up a program for inmates to take care of the dogs twice a day. The inmates have cleaned the Hickman, KY city animal shelter from top to bottom. They have added windows, heat, and even an outdoor fenced in play area for the dogs.

The man that took and turned in the pictures is only identified as a local man. This anonymous man is proof that one person can create a major change for the better. Thank you local man!
