We have a three post and rail fence at our site. It is set up just for cosmetic purposes and does not have to be functional. There are a couple of rails and posts that just need propping up-no cementing required. A carpenter helped us with some fixes about a year years ago but the snow (and some visiting deer...who lived here before us anyway) gave it a bit of a push and it is now somewhat lopsided. We keep our facility grounds neat and zen like and we would greatly appreciate a bit of a cosmetic repair to our fence. Perhaps just a bit of steel rebar would do the trick-we are open to advice. We provide the materials.
No dogs are kenneled on site (adopters who have rescued dogs bring them up for visits and all dogs go home at night) so there are no worries about having to work around dogs if that is an issue.
Small non profits like ours are only sustainable because of the support of kind hearted people (like you reading this request) so any amount of time you could donate to help us repair our fence would be so appreciated!
The Dogs of Doing Right by Rescues (past, present and future) thank you for considering us for your volunteerism!

About Doing Right By Rescues

Mission Statement
We are a non profit with two missions; To provide tutoring to individuals who have rescued dogs and to provide low cost educational sessions relevant to those who rescue or foster animals.
Description
We provide assistance with non traditional dog training (not formal obedience) for those who have kindly opened their homes and hearts to rescued dogs. We specialize in providing tips, training and equipment recommendations to deal with reactivity issues which sometimes come with rescued dogs. We also provide hands on customized instruction at our six acre zen-like training facility to help people learn techniques to calm and destress their rescued dogs.
Whether a person has adopted a dog (or is fostering a dog for a non profit organization) we work one on one (no group classes) to support them as they help dogs transition from rescue to rehomed. We also offer home visits for rescued dogs adopted by senior citizens who may be unable to come to our facility.
We are certified Tellington Touch Practitioners and members of the Pet Professionals Guild for Force Free Training and have signed a pledge to employ only kind, positive reinforcement and humane handling techniques at our tutoring barn.
