Looking for Handy Volunteers!

March 5, 2019 by Greyhound Adoption Center

The Greyhound Adoption Center is in need of a little heavy duty volunteering for some special projects at our kennel – ELECTRICAL, AUTO MECHANIC, GROUNDS-KEEPING, MAINTENANCE, PLUMBING, ans SEPTIC. If you have spare time, or know of a company or big group of people that want to volunteer time, we would welcome your assistance!

ELECTRICAL NEEDS:
🐾 A more permanent lighting solution for the green space, currently using an extension cord and power strip. Will need trenching and light switches. The lighting itself should be fine.
🐾 Electricity for the new trailer from the street and/or kennel to the new trailer, will also need either trenching or overhead lines.
🐾 A more permanent solution for a temporary fix for a line from the main junction box to the gate (controls the data transfer for new gate codes), will also need trenching.

AUTO MECHANIC:
🐾Gasoline engine
🐾Diesel engine
🐾Generator

GROUNDS KEEPING & MAINTENANCE:
🐾 Weeding the entire property
🐾 Organizing and cataloging our tool shed and storage shed
🐾 Inventorying all raffle items
🐾 Taking scrap metal to recycling
🐾 Taking other scrap to the dump
🐾 Replacing a door in the kennel
🐾 General building upkeep (fixing cabinet doors, fixing a door threshold, replacing baseboard, etc.)

🐾We also need some PLUMBING and SEPTIC work as well.

If you would like to help, or to find out more, please contact us at handy@houndsavers.org. Thank you for considering our requests, and as always, thank you to the many dedicated volunteers who assist us in so many other capacities 👏👏👏❣️
