A Healthy Canine Mind In A Healthy Canine Body

Well, summer is just about here (risk of frost tonight excepted) and the shelter is preparing for some upgrades.

We are having a fence installed in our dog yard at the shelter, this extra fence will increase the canine capacity of our yard. Not all dogs get along with each other and so when dogs are out for exercise we have to to find the appropriate mix of pooches. The end result is that some dogs end up spending yard time on their own. When the solo mutts are outside we can't let any other dogs out. Our new fence will effectively double available dog space and so allow for all our dogs to have more time running around in the fresh air.

Even though all the dogs get the best of care in the shelter they still have to spend a lot of time in their pens. All of our dogs look forward to their walks and yard time and when our upgrades are complete, their wait will be shorter. Sanus canine mens in a sanus canine somes, which requires plenty of outdoor canine activity.

This project would not be possible without some help, in this case the help has come from Yukon Energy which has donated $5,000 to the shelter for this project. Many thanks to Yukon Energy for their help which will greatly increase the canine hwyl at the shelter . This is genuinely one of those cases where the phrase "We couldn't have done it without you," applies.
