| Love For Paws Rescue Shelter We Need Help!! |
 |
| Day one: Demolition Before any construction could begin, we first needed to remove an existing shed. Taking it down wasn’t as easy as we thought. After a few tries with a sledge hammer and a crow bar, the chain went around the building and attached to the truck hitch |
 |
 |
 |
| A few tugs and down it came! Clean up was a next. The trash needed to be removed. |
 |
 |
 |
| End of the day, the ground was cleared and ready to be leveled. |
| Day Two: Grating and Leveling Getting the land ready proved to be much easier than the day before |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| By the end of the day, the ground was ready for construction and the first material was brought in! |
 |
 |
| Day 3: Construction Begins Little by little, boards began to go up...doesn't look like much right now |
 |
 |
| By the end of day three, things began to take shape |

 |
| Day 4: Construction continues.... |

| We've had to take some time off from shelter construction due to funding and the need for emergency runs for dogs that couldn't wait for the shelter to be built but here we are again... The framing for the walls are finally going up. Wow, it's really taking shape!! |
| Please Please Help! Our shelter dream is in danger of never coming true. We were doing all the work our selves, led by my wonderful husband, and although slow, we were making progress. Unfortunatly, due to his work schedule, he is no longer able to do the work himself and our shelter is at risk. We desperately need someone with construction experience to donate time to help finish our shelter and give our rescues a safe cool place to spend this very hot summer. Sadly, due to the high number of sick and special needs animals we've taken in, we don't have the funds to hire a contractor. Can you help us bring some comfort to our rescues.
