We’re excited to announce that the Can Do Canines Board of Directors has passed a resolution for us to move forward with an expansion project. The most likely scenario will have us building on our property.
Plans will include a center for whelping purposes and will address other space needs. In order to grow (or even sustain what we currently do), we need to begin whelping on-site with the help of volunteers. Our whelping volunteers literally bring life to our mission, serving in an intense and crucial way. They turn their homes into “Puppy Central,” putting a virtual stop to many other aspects of their life, while they help a mama dog deliver a litter of puppies and care for them during the first few weeks of life. Making the whelping process more of a shared experience can ease that burden.
Since a building project will take three to four years, we have signed a purchase agreement for a temporary site in New Germany, Minnesota, about 45 miles southwest of our main facility. We will use this location as a whelping center in the meantime. It was previously a dog training business, so it is ideal for our needs.
We fielded some questions about these plans during our June 23 virtual conversation. You can view a recording of that session here.
We look forward to providing you with more details on these plans soon.
