I just want to thank everyone who has been able to help us so far raise so much towards getting the new shelter built, ...but we stiull have a little way to go yet, obviously "quotes" and "actual" are never quite the same which means although we are almost there on the shelter build we still need to raise a bit more to pay for the materials to construct the large runs for the dogs and also stuff like 3-4 tons of gravel for the walkways, money for lighting / electic and some kind of water purification system as bottled water for so many dogs is incredibly expensive !!!
We still have 6 pens available for sponsorship and if everyone who has so far sponsored a kennel could PM me so we can sort out plaques and logos asap i would appreciate it.
Sorry to keep holding my hand out

One of the small pups that came from the pererra on sat morning is at the vets for a blood transfusion as he is sooo poorly without this and a saline drip he wont make it, Bernie was non too pleased to be volounteered as the donor
My camera has well and truly died, but it has been busy for the last few months so sorry no pics til i can get a new one which will hopefully be very soon.

UPDATE! UPDATE!
The roof is going up!
And still closer
Oh...I'm not shy....SEND MONEY
Phase One is almost complete! Almost.
Now we move to Phase Two.
We need fencing. We need dividers for the kennels. We need electrical and plumbing.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the update!

So... what's the target amount, Babaloo? How much is needed to get Phase One and Phase Two ready to move into Phase Three ?

Thank you MartyC, and you too, Trish!! So far we have raised enough to sponsor one kennel and are on our way to the 2nd.

They can always crate him if there's no room in the kennels.

We need to source and price fencing material and the material (whatever it may be (cheap)) to divide the kennels.
So..to answer your question....i don't know
But we hope to have an answer soon.

That's OK... if you'll just keep us updated, I'm sure that the good peeps here will do what they can to surpass the target amount! (Remember what we were able to do for the Bomberos 3-legged race?)
