Volunteer asks Cabell County Commission for funds to repair deteriorating kennels at Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Shelter

Martha Cummings, volunteer coordinator for the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Shelter, asked the Cabell County Commission on July 14 for funding to repair kennel facilities she said are in disrepair and pose a safety risk to animals. Cummings provided commissioners with photographs and cost estimates to support the request.

President Anne Yon thanked Cummings for her volunteer work and for bringing the issue before the commission. The transcript indicates commissioners heard the request during the citizens‑registered‑to‑speak portion of the meeting; no formal motion to fund the repairs was made during the July 14 session and no funding amount was discussed or approved.

The commission’s minutes record the public comment and the materials provided by Cummings; follow‑up action or referral to county staff for cost review or funding recommendations was not recorded in the transcript.
