Problems Worth Solving

Lack of exercise, social interaction, education and community support.

Every few days one can come across a post on FB from a animal shelter that is begging for people to adopt because they are overrun with homeless animals and need to make room for more. Said shelter will have a highly publicized adoption event and successfully decrease the number of animals in their care in a matter of days. YAY! BUT. It only takes a couple of more days before that same shelter is once again at its capacity. It's a vicious cycle and it’s happening everywhere.
No one can keep up with the amount of animals producing more animals and then ending up in shelters because of homelessness or lack of education, exercise and vetting by owners.
We must go to the root of the problem, backyard breeding and failure to spay and neuter, We must provide ourselves with a resource to help our neighbors keep, vax and alter their pets.
Our community is in need of a place where can come together for social interaction and exercise with our dogs. Where we can support each other through events, advice, education and by raising awareness to the lifestyle changes that can make a difference in the future of ones family pet. Our families need emergency and no cost spay/neuter services offered easily so that they are not adding to the problem. Support and training on how to provide proper diet, shelter and exercise for health and longevity of our pets as well as encouragement to welcome backyard and neglected pets into the family home where they are treated as such, is key to getting our homeless and abused animal population under control.



Our solution

Husky Halfway House wants to help address this issue in our community. We want to build a community facility that would give our residents and neighbors the very services we are so desperately needing, a place to exercise, socialize, hold educational events and provide no to low cost spay, neuter, vax and chip ID resources.
A public dog park with a coffee shop and sports bar, a 24 hr emergency vet clinic and a hospice and adoption center plus shelter for unwanted and homeless animals.
Adoption events, spay and neuter clinics, community celebrations, public awareness, greatly reducing the amount of unaltered animals in our streets, providing our people with a place to socialize and exercise their pets and themselves, community service opportunities, jobs, we can provide jobs, did I mention jobs? These are just some of the benefits we can provide to a community who lacks them all.
Together, we can have a lasting impact on our communities health, greatly reduce the number of unaltered, unvaccinated animals on our city streets and put a dent in the homeless population by providing access to exercise, family services, no to low cost spay, neuter, vax and chip id programs.


The Use of funds

The biggest job is done.. we have the ultimate location.

For the past 6 months we have been setting up the nonprofit aspect of our business. We are registered and organized in the state of Oklahoma as a 501c3 charity. That means that we can take tax deductible donations. There will be a few aspects of the business that we will not be able to do as 501c3 charity but we can certainly hand our profits over to the Foundation. We will also use our onsite marketing company to create incentives for people to use our business services because they know we are giving it back to the community.

We are ready. Our next step is to build. We have 6 acres , some with highway frontage, in which to spread things out.  The first on the list is a public dog park. We will need fencing, landscaping and concrete as well as areas with shade and park benches. We already have electric, just need to run some water lines. In the meantime we will begin the plans to build a vet clinic in which we hope to be profitable enough to provide the community with low to no cost vet maintenance and emergency services. The area we will use has a structure already in place for the clinic but will need to be completed. There is also a structure in the back that would be a great buildout for an infirmary for when our community pets pass away.

Now comes the big dreams. I am pretty determined though so help me get this far and I will do the following.  Along with the dog park we would like to build a splash pad and playground, our kids have nothing to do here! Next up would be a small coffee shop and sports bar. People have a problem paying for spay and neuter services but no problem buying coffee or beer. Lets take care of both.  We would be able to hold events at the park to help educate the public about spay and neuter all the while getting our families together, furry kids in tow, everyone exercising and socializing and spending money on coffee and beer.
While the community areas are under construction the plans will go forward with an animal shelter. Our city does not have one. We do not have resources for our stray and unwanted animals. We NEED an animal shelter.
We will also provide boarding services to help make up for the loss we will hit taking on other people problems, their unwanted pets.

I need 3 million dollars to do everything I want to do. I will finance as much as I need to with a personal guarantee, (I own a home and 7 acres of land) but I would like to figure out a way to acquire some  of what I need to get it all started. Is a bank going to give me 3 million?
No. Because I am self employed and don't make enough income.

HOWEVER. I do own something that I and many people believe will be worth multiple millions someday and so for that reason I am hoping to find someone that would like to add a piece of American history into the equation. A private backer or car collector. Someone who wants a tax deduction.
Will you help an animal rescue grow in exchange for the very car that Tesla used to test their first battery? 
AKA Tesla Mule 1.   https://www.teslamule1.com/
Mule 1 is a 2002 Lotus Elise that was brought to the US as a press car. Tesla was broke in its infancy stage when they sold it to get production going. We were looking for a rolling chassis to build a race car out of when we came across an ad for the car. Because we are familiar with Lotus we had a feeling that something was special about this chassis. Sure enough we bring the car home and scraped the black paint off the front badge revealing the very first Tesla logo.

We need your help to make Project Bark Park happen fast. Every single day I get a phone call about someone needing emergency vet care or help rehoming their pets.

We cannot do this with your help.. any donation, even  $1  will help us reach our goal more quickly.

Right now we have the Mule 1 on it's own web page in hopes of raising awareness to our project. If you would like Tesla's Mule 1 to be apart of your donation, please contact me asap with your interest so I can pull it from other sites. https://www.teslamule1.com/. 

Every donation goes into Husky Halfway House nonprofit charity through PayPal Giving Fund so receipts for tax deductions are immediate.

Thank you, thank you for your support.
