The Putnam County Commission approved a short-term agreement on April 29 for the Kanawha County Humane Association to provide interim management and director-level services at the Putnam County Animal Shelter from May 1 through June 30, 2025.
Staff member Larry explained the shelter recently lost its director and that the Kanawha County Humane Association offered to step in during the county’s search for a permanent replacement. The agreement would cover the two-month interim period at the end of the county’s fiscal year.
Commissioners discussed the partnership and expressed support. A motion authorizing the commission president to sign the two-month agreement passed after a second and voice vote. The commission did not discuss specific compensation terms or operational changes in open session; the agreement was described as short term and intended to provide managerial continuity while the county conducts a search for the next director.
