Solution Proposal
Animal Shelter Proposal There are numerous stray animals in Cadiz, Kentucky. We do not have an animal shelter where these stray animals can stay. These stray animals normally end up starving to death or like most, ran over by motor-vehicles. With an animal shelter we will have a better chance to keep animals in a safe place.
