When you work for an animal shelter it’s nearly impossible to do everything on your own.
You have to ask for a lot of help.
This goes for the manual labor, supplies, and the infrastructure. There’s no end to the things that you’re going to need. Unfortunately, it seems like my animal shelter is running out of resources at the moment. We have had a huge influx of dogs and cats this spring and in the meantime our donations have dist. To make things more complicated, our central heating and cooling system is in need of an immediate upgrade. For 20 years we’ve had the same central air conditioning and heating system. The old HVAC devices have done just fine for us, until recently. Suddenly we’ve had a lot of indoor air temperature fluctuation. There have been many hot and cold patches throughout the shelter. We have had trouble maintaining a consistent temperature no matter what the thermostat settings have been. To make matters worse, there is a lot of cat and dog fur trapped inside of our central heating and cooling system. We desperately need a complete air quality control overhaul. Thankfully, our community has stopped us. They have been donating heating and cooling devices, cash, and HVAC expertise to the shelter. Recently, a local HVAC shop even donated their time and effort to perform the HVAC installation. I’m extremely happy to say that we have a brand new heating and cooling system headed our way. I can’t imagine how many pounds of fur will be removed from the old air quality control equipment.
