All of us at Caring For Creatures are excited to announce our Capital Fundraising Campaign to create our first dog residence: Dog Pod #1.
In the 35+ years we’ve been doing this work, we have learned a great deal. That knowledge makes us know that in order to best carry out the CFC mission, we need the right physical space. The facility should not only be a sanctuary for the animals in need, but be as light as possible in its impact on the earth. It must also reflect an excellent investment in dollars spent. Caring For Creatures is moving forward to build those facilities now.
As you will see in the information that follows, we have chosen the Biotekt Biophilic Earth Structure for our dog residences which we have dubbed Dog Pods! The fundraising campaign for Dog Pod #1 is now underway. Our goal for this project is $600,000. Thus far, we have received dollars and commitments that total just over $300,000 — half of our overall goal.
We have taken the first step of placing our order for the manufacture of the components to create Dog Pod #1. The estimated delivery of these components is June 2025. From there we will have contractors prepare the foundation and put the components together. Please take some time to read about the Biotekt “pod” and why we feel it is a perfect fit for our dogs. If you are interested in participating but have a few questions, don’t hesitate to email Mary K. Birkholz, President at: Mary@CaringForCreatures.org. Or call her at our main number: 434-842-2404. Our architect is also available for presentations if you would like to be a part of an individual or group presentation.
We hope you will consider a substantial gift to this campaign — whatever that may be for you. This is truly a landmark project for us and we are only able to take this much-needed step forward because of your ongoing support over the years.
