Update from Animal Guardian Network

This is copied from the latest Newsletter from Animal Guardian Network who has been instrumental in saving many Shiba Inus over the past year for us. Please help them out if you can.


GUARDIAN RANCH
After an exhausting few months the owner of our property is unwilling to renegotiate the terms of our lease-purchase agreement to be more in-line with the current real estate market. We were given 30 days to come up with a huge sum of money or he would take back the property forcing us to be out by May 31st.
We are heartbroken after all the time and hard work that went into making this property a safe haven for animals. Sadly, we have been left with no other choice but to leave.

Then, in our darkest hour we were presented with an incredible opportunity to own a property in just 10 years through the generosity of one of our supporters. This property is already set-up with an indoor boarding area and has a block wall enclosing 3/4 of the acre plus property. In addition, it is only 5 minutes from where we are now.
Our new property will include several large enclosed play/exercise areas for dogs, 5 covered horse stalls for seasonal and emergency horse boarding, indoor dog boarding plus outdoor kennels and space for our pet chapel.
Though the transition will be bittersweet, we feel the new property will better serve those we care for, animals in need and struggling pet families.We hope everyone will continue to support our efforts especially now during our transition.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

We are in immediate need of assistance with our move and with the set-up of our new facility. In addition to muscles we could sure use help with the following:
Handymen, Landscapers, Plumbers and Wood Workers.

The following are the highest priority projects:
3 exterior doors put in
1 utility sink put in
Minor repair on existing fencing
Setting up additional fencing
Landscape clean-up

Please contact us if you can lend a hand. They are counting on us!
