As you all know, our four legged canine companions have no HVAC heating and cooling system. The floor heat that is provided keeps the floor warm but cannot provide a comfortable living space where they sleep and live. This last summer, our outdoor temperatures went as high as 103 degrees, so you can only imagine how difficult it was to keep our dogs cool. The staff worked so incredibly hard cooling the dogs by using blocks of ice, swimming pools, hosing the pups down with sprinklers and having fans running non-stop.
In the winter we are not able to keep tiny dogs in the dog kennel area. Small dogs like our little chihuahua's need a central heating system to keep them warm. We sometimes set up kennels in our lobby offices so they stay warm and comfortable.
I am very excited to announce that phase 1 of our project is almost completed. The duct work is installed, the gas line is set, and the rebarb is in ready for the concrete. We are now waiting on the actual unit that will be arriving in November. We are still in need of funding for Phase 2 & 3 of our HVAC System.
With your support we continue to improve our shelter and the care we are able to provide the animals.
Thank you for your generostiy and kindness.
