We have an unexpected emergency at the shelter—and we need your help. 💔

Plumbing crews have started digging through the concrete floor of our Kibble Café—the heart of our shelter, where our animals are fed every single day.

A rogue tennis ball found its way into our plumbing through the washing machine, and our plumbers had no choice but to tear up the floors.

Once crews got in, they discovered that a sewer line was severely corroded. To fix it, they’ll need to install a pipe liner to restore the integrity of the pipe without replacing the entire line. This specialized process adds significantly to the cost—but it’s the best way to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Now we’ve got a big hole, a pile of dirt, and a critical job ahead—filling it, pouring new concrete, and getting our Kibble Café back in action.

Between breaking through concrete, relining the pipes, and restoring the floor, the original quote for the work was $12,967. Thankfully, the amazing team at Action Plumbing, who happen to be big animal lovers, generously gave us a $3,000 discount. Even with their help, we still expect the total cost to be around $9,967.

One thing is clear: this is going to be a MAJOR and COSTLY job.

In the meantime, we’re doing our best—but essential areas of the shelter are down:

Our washing machine is out of service
Our Kibble Café is in a temporary space
The sink and plumbing in that area are unusable
The bathroom is out of order

Thankfully, our incredible volunteers have stepped up in a big way—doing laundry off-site and bringing it back clean, fresh, and ready for use. They washed 48 large loads of laundry in just three days! We’re so grateful for this outpouring of support—it’s what’s keeping us going through this mess.

This isn’t something we planned for—but we know we can count on our community to help us through.

Your donation today will help us fill the hole (literally), lay new concrete, restore plumbing, and keep things running smoothly for the animals who rely on us every day.

Can you chip in today to help cover the cost of these emergency repairs?

Every dollar makes a difference, and anything raised over the final repair cost will go DIRECTLY to caring for the animals.
