Activities & Shift

Morning shift is a lot of cleaning and setting up the animals for the day. Dogs are walked and then fed. These 3 jobs are the most important jobs of the rescue and we take them very seriously. If any of these things dont happen the sanctuary does not work.

The afternoon shift is a lot more relaxed. We have time to work on building projects and sometimes when we have visitors to the sanctuary lead them our on hikes in the mountains with some dogs.
