Rescue Rebuild Heard It Through the Grapevine

With plans drawn and material purchased it was time to get started. The first step was to install new turf in two of their outdoor play yards. This new turf will be cool to the dogs' paws and also won’t require any upkeep! And what newly turfed play yard would be complete without sun shades? These sun shades drape over the play yard providing shade and comfort to the dogs from that hot, Texas sun. Now the dogs will be able to play longer outside letting their true personality shine through making them more adoptable! Because no play yard would be complete without new agility steps, we built out agility steps and new coyote rollers were installed making sure to keep the dogs inside the play yard.
