Starting this summer, we will be beginning our renovations to have a small adoption center on our property. Since our inception, we have worked out of homes with adoptions talking place either at Petco adoption days or on an appointment only basis, which usually makes the online adoption sites such as petfinder.com, adoptapet.com, and petango.com our most successful method to finding potential adopters. While internet sites have been and still will be invaluable to us and our ability to adopt pets, we expect to significately increase our visibility and accessiblity by having an actual structure with regularly scheduled hours, which in turn will allow more people to meet and fall in love with our adoptable pets and thus help us find more pets their forever homes!
This space will give us enough room to have a corner for the cats to live play in and a space for pet parents to meet the pets and along with a store to help raise funds for our projects. While other animals, such as dogs and rabbits, will not actually be housed in the adoption center, there will be space to keep them in the center during operating hours. In addition, we can be a local resource for anyone having questions about pet care and pet welfare.
What do we need to get this project completed? We need volunteers to help finish tearing down the ceiling and roof. Then we will be ready to put up insulation, dry-wall, a new roof, flooring, etc. While a few individuals with construction know-how would be helpful, construction experience is not needed—just a willingness to help and work hard!
We also need donated materials. Especially needed are shingles, drywall, laminate flooring, insulation, but any building materials are helpful.
