Let the Good Times Roll… and Run… and Climb

With the help of volunteers like you, Rescue Rebuild was able to give these New Orlean pets a better place to wait for their forever homes.

Haven for Hope: Providing Hope for the Homeless and Their Pets

Pets are such a benefit while we are going through tough times. They can provide so much support without even saying a word. We didn’t want someone to have to make a choice between their pet or a warm meal and a roof. With these renovations, they are now able to increase their intake and change the lives of many more!

Florida Keys SPCA; The “Key” to Rebuilding

Their shelter was once home to several, mature trees providing shade to the play yards and outdoor kennels filled their back property. However, once Hurricane Irma blew through they were left with all of their shade trees completely uprooted and their kennels, play yards and perimeter fencing all destroyed by these uprooted trees. Without even as much as a perimeter fence, they couldn’t utilize any of their space and dogs couldn’t get outside to release their energy. This may not seem like a big deal, however, if a dog isn’t able to go outside to release their energy, they will become loud and overactive inside their kennels and less likely to be adopted. This is why this build was so important. We had to give these dogs a place to exercise so they would become more adoptable in the eyes of future adopters.

However, for this to come to fruition, we had to complete it in only nine days! Not only did we have the daunting task to try and complete this in record time but PBS was filming a documentary about Rescue Rebuild in an upcoming episode of “Shelter Me” during this build! To say our plate was full would be an understatement. Many late nights and early mornings were upon us.

Adventures on the Island

By Chris Coulter, Rescue Rebuild Program Manager Nothing is more relaxing than kayaking a calm river on a hot day. The noise of the paddle as it gently glides through the pristine waters. The birds chirping as they perch in the trees along the banks. No cares or worries as you let the current take […]
