Anybody who knows me, knows that my purpose in this world is caring for our canine companions. After years of working with dogs I have found myself getting deeper and deeper into that which gives me the greatest satisfaction...dog rescue. When you own a boarding facility like mine, it is only a matter of time before people who need help with their animals come calling. Some have lost their homes, don't have the necessary funds to house and care for their pet, or, have been forced to rehome, or at best, put their beloved pups into foster care until their situation sorts itself out.

Then there's the direct, ground-floor rescues; dogs on the street, or dogs that for whatever reason cross my path. In these situations you do your best to use discretion and prudence when deciding which dogs to take on. But, again, anyone who knows me knows this is the hard part for me...saying no to a dog in need. 

I have managed to keep myself at a manageable level here, but the demand, the need, is ever growing; and as my reputation and name grow, so does the influx of dogs in need. 

My goal here is to build two new kennels capable of housing up to four dogs in each. 12' X 8' they will be climate controlled, and super comfy. I will be providing all the labor myself, and have designed, and costed the facilities, and necessary materials. 

My goal is to build these out in the slow month of January so that I can get these up and usable as soon as possible.

Your support will make this a reality, and provide an incredible haven for dogs in need. I will post updates with photos of the construction process, along with pictures of the happy dogs once they are done.

I should mention that 2nd Chance is a registered 501c.3 non-profit. :)

PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN, EVEN IF THAT JUST SHARING US WITH FRIENDS.

Many, MANY Thanks from the dogs and I!

Joe
