Ashland Animal Rescue Fund hasn't added a story.
Ashland Animal Rescue Fund (AARF) is a 501.c non profit organization located in Ashland, Ky. AARF began with very humble beginnings in 2009 with the help of a small group of animal lovers, volunteers and fosters. Without a facility, we relied solely on families willing to open their hearts and homes to animals in need, as well as support and funding from our community.
We are currently renting a building that was once used as a jamboree hall. If you've ever visited the kennel on Rt. 5 you have witnessed the state of dilapidation and need for action. Heating and air have always been a issue due to failing wall and ceiling structure. The risk of flooding is a huge concern due to the creek behind the building. Winter is a real challenge due to poor plumbing conditions and constant line freezing. While this location is clearly less than desirable, it has been the best we could do based upon funding and community restrictions. But we're VERY thankful for what we have, as it has allowed us to rescue many more animals than we ever thought possible.
After 6 years, and tremendous community support, we have finally secured a building that will accomodate our needs and provide a climate controlled facility for our residents. We have always believed that our rescues deserve better and we are taking a big leap of faith in providing that for them.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to generate funds to design the building the way we truly need it to operate. It's a blank slate at this point and we have so many ideas! Our initial goal is new caging to safely seperate each cat and dog, along with an isolation area for new intakes and sick animals. We also have plans for a vetting area and bathing station. In addition, we need quite, stress-free space for nursing moms and newborns. We want to focus on our cats as well and create a patio style space (or "catio") for them to enjoy a little free roaming time. There will certainly be many needs, however, this is the first phase of what we feel is important to improve their living conditions.
We appreciate any amount you can donate to our cause. We truly believe that TOGETHER WE CAN make a difference.
