For the past three months, we have been dealing with a water crisis at our Charles and Lynn Zhang Animal Rescue Center. Addressing the
crisis will require a $206,000 investment in a sewer line. The original building at 1616 Construction Dr was purposed as an auto dealership.
A modest septic tank and drain field were installed to meet the waste water needs of the business. Enter Animal Rescue Project with its many
loads of industrial-size laundry every day.
Water is the lifeblood of our rescue program. In addition to sanitizing dog beds, blankets, and toys, we need water to bathe rescue dogs and
puppies. We need water to wash floors and sanitize dog runs. Our waste water consumption has overwhelmed the septic system, and the Health
Department has required us to stop doing laundry and bathing. Volunteers have stepped up to assist us with laundry, but this is not a sustainable solution.
Charles and Lynn Zhang have graciously stepped forward with a gift of $100,000, and we are now working to match their gift. We are profoundly
grateful for their extraordinary generosity and longstanding commitment to our mission.
An unexpected expense of this kind is catastrophic for a non-profit organization. Please help us get back to full operations by contributing to
our sewer fund. No gift will be too small to help.
