We're constantly learning from the animal welfare cause. Building this doghouse came as a preclusion to moving our 5 to the enclosure, and in so doing, we learnt from the management about how important it is to construct a doghouse that is sturdy and durable, and good for use for at least the new few years.
Not just for our pack, but for future generations of dogs seeking the shelter as their refuge, when eventually, our dogs will be let loose from the enclosure and blend in with the rest of the groups on the shelter premises. This is what we hope will happen.
It wasn't merely getting the best deal, but understanding 'carpentry' as a fundamental, the nuts and bolts, the [more affordable] materials needed, dimensions, and spatially imagining how our dogs will take to the doghouse. That it will be something to offer comfort to each of them.
At close to $1,000, this doghouse doesn't come too cheap but it is necessary, in fact mandatory, which is why we achieved this privilege of an enclosure. Thanks to the kindness of the shelter, and thanks to the people who had donated to our 8: with Lil' Anne at foster care, Ben & Jamie at another boarding and the rest of the boys at the enclosure.
A bold step for us and a bold step to safety for our pack. Join us if you'd like to help in contributing to the costs of:
* doghouse
* monthly boarding fees of each of our pack
* health maintenance/veterinary fees required to upkeep
* sterilisation of other strays
* food for dogs managed by caregivers
A leap of faith for all of us. In the hope that good things will happen for our pack and all the animals at the shelter. Thank you for your prayers, moral support and encouragement. Keep them flowing =)
