After the storm..ððĒ
The good news is all the shelter dogs are ok, a little subdued and we have a scratched nose. We have been fortunate really but the mess and damage is going to take a while to clean up and fix but we will get there thanks to YOU. Thank you for your support, donations and concern for our little ones.

STORM DAMAGE
UPDATE We have been fortunate however the fencing on three pens has been
blown inward and is at an angle, the cement kept them in place but the
wind has bent the poles. I will need to get a work man in to get them
back in place and put in support rods to
make sure this doesn't happen again. Four of our plastic kennels (most
of our kennels are brick or wood) are beyond repair so I will buy bricks
and wood and build stronger kennels like the others with the donations
that have come in, some of the shade netting is ripped, some is fixable
some not. I still cant believe it hit us so quickly & with such
force. I will keep you updated on the clean up process. Thank you all
for your support xx
HERE WE GO WITH THE BIG FIX *
(UPDATED) - MATERIALS HAVE ARRIVED. HARRY IS HELPING FREE OF CHARGE AND JOANNA HAS COME IN ON HER DAY OFF. VERY EXITING !!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU X
Huge thank you to everyone who donated to the shelter after the freak storm caused havoc.
Support poles were bent causing the fencing to lean dangerously inward, our plastic kennels were thrown around & broken beyond repair (our wooden & brick kennels were strong and safe) Tarpaulins, shade netting and outer sheeting were torn from the support frames/fencing directly upward by swirling winds and dropped almost as suddenly in the pens and surrounding fields.
Materials were ordered yesterdays and will be delivered this morning.
- 3 x pallets of thermal bricks.
- Glue for thermal bricks.
- 30 Planks for 4 x kennel roofing.
- 2 x rolls of water proof Roof Gum.
- Shade netting
- Iron sheeting (lamrina)
- Staple gun.
- Nails.
Total cost 687 Euros, we have gone OVER our limit so please if you would still like to help us heal our shelter donations can still be sent to the link below. Thank you all for such a rapid response ðððð
We
are getting there, some of the shade nets are back up, Star-socks &
Cuka (Kooka) have a NEW brick kennel and Alben, Polly, Zeke & Luna all have
a new roof. Billie, Cleo, Bailey & Jessey have had their pen super
cleaned and have gravel & sand down as their pen was water logged.
Their new brick kennels will be put up asap when I can get the cement
down for the base.
Rain stopped play unfortunately this evening and raining it is, another storm over head and a frightening one again ð
Weather warnings were issued but we expected this tomorrow..

OOOHHHHHHH EARTH QQUAKE !!!!!
4.6 It started quite light but there was quite a force at the end. It is fascinating really how powerless we are against the strength of Mother nature, We have just about seen it all over the past months.. ððððĪŠ
