It has been months of hard work, but
our adoptable cats think their new
pad was worth the wait! During the
fall of 2008, site clearing and road
widening of 20 acres of land generously
donated by the Stitz family
began. Since then, ARC has worked
vigorously to raise funds and
construct a kennel to house homeless
and abused animals in need of warm
shelter, medical attention, and love.
Currently, only the cats occupy the
new facility, but the dogs will be
moved in early this season. In order
to be up to kennel code, the outside
runs for the dogs must be complete.
Unfortunately, completing this
masonry task has been on hold due
to poor weather conditions. Luckily,
once the weather breaks, this task
should only take a few days to
complete! We are eager to move in the
rest of our adoptable family ASAP!
This spring, our doggie play yard will
be erected and construction of the
screened-in, kitty sunroom will begin!
This summer, stage 2 of our 3 stage
plan will commence. This plan
includes a duplicate of our recently
completed facility and a large pole
building to be placed in the center
of the 2009/2010 facilities.
All of this construction (and the
spared lives of those who temporarily
call it home) would not have been
possible without financial support
from local businesses and generous
donors! YOU have helped make our
mission of saving thousands of canine
and feline lives possible! Thank you!
