The members of Trimble County Fiscal Court reached a consensus during a special meeting Friday to obligate funds necessary to construct an animal shelter on property located near the Valley View Landfill.

The animal shelter is a joint project between Trimble and Henry counties to provide dog control, sheltering and disposal for their respective counties. The Kentucky Humane Society in January informed the two counties that, effective June 30, they would not be renewing contracts to provide those services.
