This one is a biggie:
We call it the hail Mary of crowd funding. Our indoor kennel fronts and kennel backs, similar to their outdoor counterparts are in desperate need of repair as they are showing their age as well. They have given a good run and in many ways are still holding fast and true in sheltering our temporarily houseless dog friends, for that we are grateful, but it is time to replace them. The rust and breakage could be potentially harmful to our curious dogs and potential escape artists and small repairs are sometimes hard for us to keep up with. In truth, this should probably be it's own campaign, as it is a BIG ask, but we will take whatever we can get and do as much of the necessary repair as we can with hearts full of gratitude and abundant attitudes.
Giving our dogs a safe space to stay is crucial.

Similarly to our front kennels, our indoor kennels are falling apart. Between rusted parts, gaps in the chain link, and wires poking out everywhere, our team is concerned for the safety of our residents. We have done the best we can with our in-house patchwork, but now we are having a hard time keeping up. We want to give them a clean and secure place to rest, eat, and live while they stay with us on this part of their journey.
You can be the one to make the difference!
By donating directly to the campaign here or by sharing the campaign link via social media, webpages, or text, you can help us get closer to our goal and provide a better quality of life for the houseless animals in our facility.
