Help Us Build a Vet Clinic for Wolfdogs

We are a 501c3 non profit organization committed to the rescue and lifetime care for wolfdogs in need. We are 100% donor funded and volunteer run.

We are the caretakers for 22 wolfdogs, most of whom have never ridden in a car except on their rescue day. Our animals have come from situations of neglect and abuse and they have come to us from around the country. They are not easy to vet and most can’t travel in a car. We need help.

Earlier this summer, our vet team: Dr. Darsha Arnold and Amy Marmer, performed 3 field neuters on 3 of our more challenging males. They did it flawlessly but it did include our vet tech scaling an 8 foot fence to get in. (That’s a story by itself.) But we would like to make their job easier while offering the most sterile environment possible. It is time for the Little Red Clinic.

The clinic would sit inside the perimeter of the animal pod so that no animals will need to leave the fenced area to be vetted. When an emergency need occurs, time is of the essence with these animals and having our own facility will literally be the most immediate and stress free option for them. Additionally, the clinic will allow us to use our cooperative care techniques to train our animals to go into the vet clinic even when there isn’t a need. This will better prepare them for when a real need occurs.

The details: The clinic would be a 12 x 16 ft shed kit that we would convert. Cost about: $3800. The lumber for the framework, and porch it would sit on, would be about $2500. The plumbing and electric would be $6500 (although we may only run plumbing for now since we can tap into a water line already in the animal pod. The electric would have to run 450 feet from our barn to the clinic.) If we can raise the full amount, we would be able to have electricity as well.

We will finish the inside of the shed through materials we get donated and our own volunteers. The labor for the framework would also be volunteer efforts. This clinic will enable us to offer a higher quality of care, less stress on our animals and provide our attending vet with a sterile facility, safely in our animal pod, to perform any needed surgeries or vetting.

Total cost: $12,800 includes electric.

It is time for the Little Red Clinic! Can you help us please?
