Yesterday morning's heavy rainfall was a stark reminder of a critical issue: our current drainage system is simply inadequate. The severe downpours we have been experiencing lately are overwhelming our current drains, leaving our beloved animals vulnerable to flooding.
The situation was dire. As rain poured down, runoff has no where to go but into our side yard and kennels. Water quickly accumulated in our kennels, reaching several inches deep. Our staff worked tirelessly through the deluge, redirecting water and ensuring the safety of our dogs. They faced a challenging situation, but their commitment to our animals' well-being shone through.
Imagine, however, if this had happened overnight while we were all sleeping. The thought of our dogs standing in water for hours, unable to escape, is terrifying. This incident has underscored the urgent need for a comprehensive drainage solution.
We are committed to creating a safe and healthy environment for all our animals, and addressing this drainage issue is a top priority. We are incorporating it into our ongoing Capital Campaign, and we need your support to make this vital project a reality.
Every dollar donated to our Capital Campaign brings us closer to implementing a solution that will protect our animals from the dangers of flooding. Your generosity will ensure that our dogs are safe, dry, and comfortable, no matter the weather.
Please consider making a donation today and help us create a safer and more secure environment for the animals we love. Together, we can make a difference!
