Rescue Rebuild is a shelter renovation program that strives to provide pet-friendly housing options for at-risk people requiring either temporary emergency or long-term transitional housing with their furry family member. We travel to selected shelters and spend one to two weeks working to complete general repairs and renovations. Whether you already have a pet program up and running and need expansions or you are ready to give it a go from scratch, we are here to help.

Below is a list of some of the projects our team can complete, but we can do much more!

• Outdoor Exercise Pens (typically 25’ x 25’ or larger)
• Renovate existing client room to be pet friendly
• Add pet door to existing client room and install pet relief area
• Space for clients to hang out with their pets
• Installation of New Dog Kennels
• Installation of New Cat Kennels/Room
• Concrete Related Projects
• Outdoor Cat Enclosures
• Repair Existing Chain Link
• Shed Installation (or other storage solutions)
• Painting (interior or exterior)
• Shade Screen for Outdoor Pens (cloth, metal or wood)
• Coyote Rollers (prevents dogs from fence jumping)
