Retirement Home Update
We are excited to report another Polo's Refuge (Senior Dog Retirement Home) update! Another major step in the home becoming a reality was taken as construction of the actual building began. We went from three piles of materials to an actual structure! The 10x16' building has 8' side walls, insulated floor and a loft for storage. It has two windows, a front porch and ramp for easier access by our senior dogs, as well as two functioning windows and a huge front door.
Over the next few months as we receive the second half of the grant money, we will continue to bring the retirement home to life! There is still so much to do as we add electricity to the building, insulation in walls and roof, ceiling fans, a heating/air conditioning unit, tile flooring and more.
For those of you who would like to have a part in the home, we still need slipcovers in size Small for the Kuranda beds. You can order them by visiting the Kuranda website. Everyone who donates a bed will have their name engraved on a plaque that will hang on the wall in the home. When you order them, please have them shipped to -
