Support Buckeye Kennels' Recovery from Hurricane

Help Buckeye Kennels Recover from Hurricane Helene

My name is Phillip Paris, and I personally know Lois and Marie. I have worked with them as a consultant for several years and have observed them in action for myself. These are two of the nicest humans you could ever meet. In my time with them, I have seen how much they care about the dogs in their care. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to them to help recover from the devastating affects of Hurricane Helene.

For over two decades, Buckeye Kennels in Swannanoa, NC, has been a trusted haven for dogs, providing boutique-style boarding and daycare with a focus on individualized care. Owners Lois and Marie, deeply passionate about the well-being of the animals in their care, have built strong relationships with their clients, making Buckeye Kennels a cornerstone of the community.

Recently, Hurricane Helene devastated the area, causing severe damage to Buckeye Kennels. The storm impacted critical areas of the facility, including outdoor play yards, rendering them unusable. The building structure (and the inside) itself is intact and will be functional after cleaning, however, nearly all of the outdoor areas have been destroyed. This includes all of the containment and safety fencing. In addition to urgent structural repairs, the kennel must replace essential equipment and supplies to resume operations safely.

Lois and Marie are committed to rebuilding, but they need your help. We aim to raise $50,000 to cover the costs of immediate repairs, replace damaged equipment, new outdoor fencing and equipment, and supporting staff during this challenging time. Any amount you can contribute will make a significant difference in getting Buckeye Kennels back on its feet and fully functional, and ensuring the well-being of the dogs and staff who depend on it.

Thank you for your support!
