Pennsville Animal Shelter Improvements
Passion4Pets is seeking your help in raising funds for improvements to Pennsville Animal Shelter. Pennsville Animal Shelter is an intake shelter for Pennsville, LAC, Mannington, & Quinton. We are a NON-KILL shelter, meaning we do not euthanize for space. We have been working to make the shelter more efficient for our animals and operations. With that said, we are looking to update our outdoor dog kennels, inside cat kennels, and add a new shed for more storage.
Dog Kennels:
In 2020, we updated our indoor dog kennels. This included floor to ceiling runs, new flooring and heating/cooling updates. We are hoping to do the same for the outside runs in 2021. The existing chain link fence kennels we currently have outdoors, allow the dogs to see the animal next to them which is not ideal for an animal in a shelter environment. After years of wear & tear, sharp edges have also started to appear which can cause dogs to get injured on the kennels. The health department has been working with us to allow time to have the kennels renovated, but we need assistance due to limited budget.
The estimated cost of our outdoor kennels renovations is $24,000
Cat Kennels:
Our current cat room set up is not ideal for protecting our cats against airborne illnesses, as the fronts of the cages are open grates. We are looking to get fully enclosed cages to house animals during their quarantine period upon entering the shelter. The enclosed cages would ensure each cat is isolated, which will prevent any illnesses from spreading to the other cats within the shelter.
The estimated cost of our cat kennel renovations is $8,000
Shed/Storage:
Lastly, we recently built a new office, which you may have noticed driving by. Our previous office trailer has to be demolished due to poor conditions. We are looking to place a shed where the previous office space was as we are outgrowing our current shed storage. We are so grateful for all donations we receive, but we have had to turn down donations due to lack of storage space. This shed will allow us to accept large donations from retailers, such as Amazon, who recently donated over 250lbs of dry cat food.
The estimated cost of our shed is $3,000.
The total estimated costs for our shelter improvements are $35,000.
We are doing our best to provide what each and every animal needs during their stay at our shelter. Let’s make this shelter better for our lost animals, while they wait for their forever home. Whether you can donate or just share our fundraiser, we are so thankful for your support, and it does not go unnoticed.
