Nothing Fancy but Estill County is Saving Lives
Estill County Animal Shelter in Ravenna, Kentucky, is not fancy. In fact, the dogs bunk three and four to a kennel and stretch their legs by running around inside the small metal building while their kennels are being cleaned. But they are all safe. Even if they may be a bit cramped (for now…), they want for nothing in terms of food, vaccines, dewormers, toys, and certainly canine companionship.
