Animal Shelter Needs Help After Roof Collapse
|
The recent rain storms have left us in a dire physical condition – the roof of our Sanctuary is so delapidated that the ceilings of two rooms have virtually collapsed. There is water in nearly every wall of every building. The animals are safe (and very loved), but have had to be relocated to other areas of the shelter, which is distressing in and of itself to them.
Our stray dog kennels are deteriorating beyond belief.
Due to gross neglect by former management, the shelter was never improved or maintained. The new Board and managment is struggling to make ends meet and keep up with repairs, but the bottom line is that our little shelter needs to be rebuilt. As a private shelter, we receive no government funding – we rely on donations and shelter services. We’re hoping that our ‘guardian angel’ is out there, willing to help us pick up the pieces and become all we know we can be. This is our 87th year, and we want there to be many, many more years to come to care for, and shelter, so many homeless dogs and cats hoping for a second chance.
PLEASE, won’t you help make our new shelter a reality?

The recent storms have taken their toll on the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society building — where the roof actually collapsed, leaving hundreds of animals in dire straits.
Pat Brayer, Shelter President:
“All these cats were in that room … luckily our staff got them out before the one ceiling collapsed, evacuated the second room and released that water to save the ceiling from collapsing so it’s ready to go but at least it didn’t fall in… yet.”
“Yet” is the key word — with more rain coming.
Pat Brayer, Shelter President:
“We knew the roof was a problem. We were hoping against hope but we were barely keeping our doors open, much less planning to put a roof in it.”
With the roof collapse, they’ve moved the 135 cats and 130 dogs at the animal shelter into just about every inch of available space..
Bottom line: They need help — whether in the form of adopting one of the animals or donations, which are tax-deductible.
Pat Brayer, Shelter President:
“We are really hoping dog owners in particular keep their dogs in and safe because when we are out on calls, bringing in 8 to 10 stray dogs in an hour, it overburdens everybody.”
