Dog Sanctuary

Thank you for looking at this campaign!

What I intend to do is to rescue healthy dogs that are to be euthanized from the local kill shelters. 
Too many beautiful dogs are being killed simply because there is no space or because "the waiting time has run out"; I want to change that for as many dogs as possible. I will take in dogs that are to be killed and give them a new permanent home as well as more time for any possible adoptions.

THE IDEA:
I seem to be a natural with dogs. I have always rescued my dogs and they were always the “hard” or “impossible” cases. My current dog was supposed to be euthanized because of her “aggression” and the inability to train her…. Needless to say, she is now one of the best training and kindest dogs I have seen. It is ALWAYS the human behind the dog. I keep on hearing and seeing how many beautiful, healthy and friendly dogs are being euthanized - either because of their breed (usually Pit-bulls), because there is no more space or simply because their “time has run out”. This is not fair and not humane! I decided that I will TRY to change this for as many dogs as I possibly can, so I made a plan, for which I need lots of financial help!

THE PLAN:
Initially, I will try to purchase around 10 acres of land in Sarasota or Manatee county. Next will be to construct several objects on that property:
A 2 bedroom dome in which I live - I will live on the property with the dogs that have been rescued. They live in their home, not in a shelter anymore.
2 domes which offer housing to the dogs. The dogs will NOT be living in small cages; they will roam around the land freely but have the domes for sleeping and for shelter.
A dog pool with gradual slope - no steps!
A full fence around the entire 10 acres

Once several dogs have been rescued and rehabilitated (if needed), I will talk to the Department of corrections for a possible inmate program; e.g..Clean the dog domes and groom the dogs in return for free time with the dogs; there are lots of possibilities.
I also intend to set up partnerships with dog-food manufacturers, resulting in much cheaper costs for dog food in return for advertising etc.
In addition, I will hold seminars and workshops about proper dog care and health and dog-psychology.
There are already many volunteers that would love to help and work with these dogs, so personnel is not an issue.
If one of the planned programs works (Inmates, Homeless, Adoptions, etc) I will be able to employ staff - for this, I would preferably hire homeless people which I deem suitable for this kind of work.

THE FINANCES
The foreseeable costs for this project are as follows:
10 acre Property                     $300000
2 Dome buildings                    $200000
Solar system with install        $50000
Complete fence                          $40000
Accessories                                   $20000

Total estimated costs:           $610000

In order to get that amount after fees and taxes, the required cash would be $ 999.000; thus this very high campaign goal.

ABOUT ME:
I am an 48 Year old male who is currently working in the digital imaging field as the Director of a software developing company. I have been around animals and dogs my entire life and always had at least one dog at any given time.
I overflow with compassion and at least want to TRY to make a noticeable change. I am well aware that the capital required for this project is immense - but I am hoping that enough people will see this campaign and decide to donate even just a little bit - but please SHARE this campaign as best you can and give the dogs a chance!
