Last October, 2018, we began converting our 1920’s era garage into a safe and secure place for our dogs. The intake/lounge area was completed in March (read about it under News on our website) and this week, we put the final touches on the dormitory.
We started with bare bones-no heat or AC, no insulation, no interior walls or ceiling, and a dirty concrete floor. Today, both rooms remain, as set, at a comfortable 74 degrees, the walls are cheerful and decorated (thank you Jane Galvin for the painting), and somehow we were able to get a ceiling to look half way decent, despite the extremely uneven ceiling joists.
We painted the floor, but something was missing. We reached out to Ruggable after we saw advertisements about their rugs being machine washable. Renee contacted us immediately and offered to donate four rugs-two 8’x10’ and two 2.5’x7’, with a total retail value of $1,096.00!! Those rugs were the perfect finishing touch!
With the many responsibilities we have at Freedom Farm, the process was long and, at times, very strenuous, but we are so pleased with the way the rooms look and feel. We do believe the dogs like the rooms as much as we do!
As always, thanks to all of you who support our mission with your donations and your prayers. We could not do this alone!
