    Can anyone share ideas and suggestions as we are trying to do a huge fundraiser for a new building for our rescue.  Any suggestion or things you would do different or not do in a building to make it the best it can be????   Pictures would be great as well.  Our building plan is set to hold about 40-44 dogs.   I am open to hear everyone's thoughts

    Build it bigger than you anticipate needing so that there are kennels for overflow and growth.   No one in a shelter ever says they wish they had fewer kennels.

    Hi Laura,

    Here are some past forum discussions that may help:

    Best of luck to you on your new building! I hope some of these past discussions and library resources help.
