Hi, my name is Taylie and I am fundraising for the Newberg Animal Shelter in Newberg, Oregon. I am a Girl Scout and for my gold award project I am building three new outside, semi-permanent, structures that will help to ensure the dogs stay cool in the summer while still getting outside time. Or out of the rain while still getting outside time! These structures will last many years and be much more sustainable than what the shelter currently uses to give the dogs shade.

This is an important issue for me because shelters all around the world have issues with funding. By creating a more sustainable way of operating even for one shelter means that I can make a difference in how much care the shelter can afford to give to the animals in their guardianship.

All of the funds will go to the purchasing of materials. Should there be any extra funds, they will go straight to back to the shelter to use however they find most beneficial to the care of the animals and operation of the facility.
