The Christian County Board has responded to recent allegations that they refused money from Steve and Sherri Craggs concerning Fur Love and Christian County Animal Control. In a letter released to the public by Bryan Sharp, County Board Chairman, Sharp addresses the questions saying that to date, no such donation has been given to the county.  He says what has occurred is that Fur Love has raised funds for the express purpose of the expansion of the Animal Control Facility and for a “proposed” expansion of the Animal Control Facility.  

Sharp continues by stressing that the county has never proposed an expansion and has never authorized any person or entity to raise funds for an expansion.  He says the board is not planning any expansion and would decline any sum of money that was earmarked for an expansion.  

Sharp says the Animal Control Facility receives many generous donations both in money and volunteer hours.  People provide help with adoption fees and spaying and neutering to facilitate the adoption of abandoned animals.  In-kind pet food donations are regularly received and appreciated. He says that volunteers provide reliable and invaluable help caring for animals.

Bryan Sharp finishes his letter by saying that the board welcomes Fur Love to join the ranks of those who generously donate funds to help with any operational needs identified by the Animal Control Director and approved by the Christian County Board.
