They’re fun, cuddly, silly, and lovable, but our shelter residents aren’t much help with repairs and maintenance.

For example, we asked Tigger to check an upstairs window for air leaks. Well, it was a lovely sunny day, and oh-so-warm… When he didn't report back, we checked to see why. Nap time had prevailed.

At the dog den, we asked Ori to let us know where the fence needed to be fixed. We should have realized that “fixed” sounds a lot like “stick”. She found a really nice one. So, the fence remained un-inspected.

We'll have to do it ourselves. That’s where you come in.

Second Chance pets need us for more than just care, training, and finding homes. They also need us to keep their temporary home at Second Chance safe and in good repair. The ranch is a wonderful place, but it needs some love too.

Our buildings need repair from hundreds of pets and people passing through each year. Additionally, we have decks that are sagging, fences that need painted, and a driveway that needs gravel (just to name a few...).

While we have a facilities account for maintenance and projects, unfortunately, it is almost completely depleted. Through your support of this fund, we can welcome more pets and people to the ranch, have on-site adoption and community events, and generally keep the pets' home a safe and beautiful place.

We have a generous match to meet.

An anonymous donor has pledged $15,000 if we can raise $15,000 before November 15.

Please give generously and quickly to unlock this much-needed funding for our projects. As always, we value your support!

We're also accepting construction materials, gravel, and other in-kind donations. We always welcome volunteer construction & maintenance help. Contact Lisa at: lisa@adoptmountainpets.org
