Press release
from Laura Wright
Got an old doghouse you’re not using?
In
Please consider donating a doghouse for distribution to dogs in need over the winter months. Outdoor dogs need adequate shelter in order to stay warm and dry; you can help provide that shelter to a dog that will otherwise go without – and your contribution will help to educate pet owners about the importance of providing warm, dry housing to their
dogs in the process.
Please bring clean used or new doghouses – any size and make, as long as they are water tight and sturdy – to the Petco parking lot located at 825 Brevard Rd. in Asheville any time between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. We’ll collect the doghouses, insulate them, and take them to Haywood County for distribution.
- If you don’t have a doghouse to donate, we also need the following items to help us insulate and keep them dry:
- cedar pet bedding
- egg carton foam or other foam sheets
- plastic sheeting and tarps
- wooden pallets
Plant Restaurant in Asheville (plantisfood.com) will be hosting a fundraiser for the event on Tuesday, November 13. A percentage of that day’s earnings will go to buying doghouses and insulation materials for the event.
For more information, if you’d like to volunteer, or if you need to arrange a doghouse pick up, please contact Laura Wright at lauralwright70@yahoo.com - egg carton foam or other foam sheets
