Hello Everyone,
My name is Jason Turrey and I live in Merced, Ca. I am a contractor for installing satellite, Home Theater, Prewire homes etc. (If you need anything let me know fellow Jetters get cost+10%). Anyways in my day to day work i get to see a large variety of homes, income level, etc. Basically one day I can be in a million dollar home and the next I can be in the ghetto or an old broken down trailer park. Well I can say that animals are my soft spot and I rescue and try and care for as many sad/mean situations that I come across which in the Valley is quite a few lately. I have personally rescued 7 animals that live with me and about 20 in the last year that I have found great active, loving homes for. With a new baby my extra $$$ is a little less each month so it is a little harder when I take a rescue to the vet etc.
Well with the cold weather the fiance and I have come up with a great idea. I have seen alot of poor animals that are tied to a fence, old tire, etc, with no cover or an old nasty flea infeted blanket on the dirt and that is it. I can tell that these animals are treated aweful and left in the elements with no shelter. So my idea is that I am going to build dog houses and donate them to the hard cases I run across from time to time. I want to build well designed houses that keep them out of the wind and rain etc. I have looked at the basic dog house and I think they suck. The opening is wide open to the elements and offer very minimal wind or rain protection when it is really storming etc. I saw a great desing at Costco where the animal can actaully walk in and turn a small corner to get totally out of the wind and rain. So I am going to build a websight with my design ideas and a donation setup to help me buy materials etc. I have talked to a local contractor and they will give me left over siding and roofing materials to help with the costs. I will keep no money for myself unless I have to replace a tool etc. to build these. I would appreciate your ideas and if anyone knows a good cheap webdesigner that would be great. And design ideas and help would be awesome.
Thanks In Advance,
Jason

That is a great cause jason . I have a freind who is just like you when it comes to resueing animals . As a matter of fact they rescued these dogs and nursed them back to health since they were beaten and one had broken bones , and eventually went to a place where they could be adopted . That was in the pinion hills area. Another friend of mine had to go through some serious interagation in order to adopt two dogs that she saw and were inseprable and eventually got to take the dogs home to upland . Low and behold it was the same to animals that my other friends rescued and are doing great . Good luck with everything and I'll keep my ear to the ground for ya.
