Protected Paw Project

Donation protected


Hello,

My name is Kyle and I love animals.

I started the “Protected Paw Project” as a way to provide comfort and shelter to all animals who spend the majority of their lives outside. 

Each home is completely free of charge to the owner or business in need.

Since October of 2018, I've built and delivered over 1,100 homes to dogs and cats across Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio but I could use a little help to keep up with the demand.  Additional requests are coming in daily and I would also like to expand and ensure every animal in need has a shelter.

All proceeds raised will go directly towards purchasing lumber, materials and transportation needed in order to help me continue to offer a new dog/cat house to those in need free of charge.   

I am HIGHLY motivated.  I lost my dog (George) unexpectedly in 2018 to an immune mediated disease.  He was adopted and I always told him that I would "protect" him.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to help him but I've made it my mission to protect as many other animals as I possibly can.  Each house also has George's paw print on it.

This is a simple act of kindness to improve the life of an animal and the best way I know how to honor my beloved George.

Thank you for caring,

Kyle Vandenberg
