Shelter Profile

We are a group of volunteers working together to provide a clean, safe, comfortable home for stray animals from the community of Brooklyn, Ohio.

This project is intended to provide a community service for the City of Brooklyn's residents. We want to have an animal shelter we can all be proud of. To do this successfully we will need help and support from animal lovers and advocates. Won't you help pass the word about our mission?

Monday, June 12, 2006 I have been gathering information on animal shelter design since December of 2004.  To a shelter volunteer, being able to design a shelter is a dream come true. Every person who has worked as an animal caretaker in a shelter can always think of at least one thing they would change that would make their shelter better. As a volunteer at Parma Animal Shelter, I was able to appreciate the hard work it took to renovate the building so that the proper rooms and air exchanges were achieved. click to enlarge Building a brand new shelter gives us an opportunity to do it right the first time.  I invite you to check out the articles on Animal Shelter Design, especially the 8 Essential Elements of a Healthy Facility. We remain dedicated to raise funds to build a shelter that will be a healthy facility. We have compiled a report of the animals taken by the animal service and judging by the calls we have gotten in the past months we'll need to provide for way more animals than were taken care of by the animal service. For instance, from January to November 2005 they picked up 13 kittens. We have received calls for 19 kittens with 5 mama cats in 2 months and we are sure that some people are just not reporting them.  Unfortunately, we do not have equipment or training to catch animals so unless the homeowner can catch the kittens and hold them for us, we often cannot retrieve them.  There is also the problem of a lack of foster homes, thus the need for a shelter and our own animal control officer.
