adam-barrett-appointed-to-replace-retiring-father-keith-at-animal-shelter
A Barrett has been the director of the Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter for many years. And that’s not going to change.
Keith Barrett is retiring on Jan. 31 after 19 years at the position. His son, Adam, has been appointed by Mayor Scott Furgeson to take over.
Keith talks about how the plan came together.
Adam left his job with Knauf and joined the shelter on Jan. 17 to begin the transition.
Keith says the building of the current shelter certainly stands as a highlight of his years as director.
Adam says his takeover comes at a time that should be easier than when his father was named director years ago.
Keith hopes the public’s support of the shelter continues under Adam’s leadership.
