HHS – A Call for Help
The Helotes Humane Society (HHS) has been blessed with an offer they could not refuse. A special “army” of volunteers from City Year San Antonio has offered their help to the HHS on Friday, September 25, 2009.
This group of young people, ages 18 through 24, will be working in two areas of need. One is moving some donated dog kennel panels from San Antonio Animal Control to Happy Paws Groom and Board in Helotes, where the HHS currently keeps some overflow dogs. These are dogs that they do not have foster homes for that would otherwise be sent to a kill shelter or left on the streets.
The other half of the group will be working to spruce up around the HHS Pet Food Bank house. They can do landscaping, build picnic tables, and put foot pavers in place, but there is one thing they are missing – the materials for them to do the job!
They would love to have some donated lumber, nails, stain, xeriscape plants (that do well in the shade), mulch, and some stepping stones. Please consider donating some of these needed items to the HHS.
They are also looking for people who have experience in construction to advise them on cement work, pouring slabs, or kennel construction. HHS’s goal for that Friday is to put together at least six of the donated kennels. If you know of anyone who could help them, they would be thrilled to talk to them.
To make a donation to the above projects, whether it be materials or resources, please call 210-422-6242, or email: hhsanimals@yahoo.com.
