Retired Animal Shelter Director Recognized Retired Shelby County/Shelbyville Animal Shelter director Keith Barrett receives a plaque yesterday from Mayor Scott Furgeson, who cited Barrett’s 19 years of exemplary service. Barrett was brought on board early in Furgeson’s first term as mayor, when the shelter was, as Furgeson called it, “a crap hole - because I can’t say the other word on record.” The mayor said Barrett played a critical role in overseeing the construction of a new facility and upgrading the equipment, and commended him for giving respect to both animals and people in the community.
