Volunteer Fair Announcement…
Hempstead, Texas – June 21, 2018 – Dog Lodge Sanctuary is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) organization located on 60 acres in Hempstead, Tx. dedicated to providing a permanent home for senior and/or special needs dogs that otherwise might face a very bleak future but in the right environment can still lead a quality life. We are focused on providing a safe, loving, healthy and stable environment for our dogs so that they may know peace and dignity for the rest of their lives. The primary function of Dog Lodge is to come to the rescue of dogs that are, for all intents and purposes, considered “unadoptable” because of advanced age or because they have chronic illness or physical disabilities. The Sanctuary is an alternative to life on the streets, abuse, neglect, fighting, and euthanasia. Here is an opportunity for those dogs to be in a place where they can belong; where they can be happy, where all their special needs can be met – where they can love and be loved.
Dog Lodge Sanctuary is now open and operational. Founders Rick Laminack and Elaine Rosen have turned their passion into reality and have made a significant financial investment to open Phase 1 which consists of two buildings. The first building holds the grooming room, laundry room, sanctuary office, food prep and storage area, and a 26’ x 80’combined training/therapy/exercise room. The dog accommodations are in the second building along with a large living room for the dogs, a volunteer break room, and a private vet clinic for the convenience of our visiting veterinarians. Attached to this building is an apartment where the facility manager will reside.
Dog Lodge Sanctuary is hosting a volunteer fair on Saturday July 14, 2018 at 10:00 am. If you have a passion for dogs and have a servant heart, we want to talk to you. We will be giving tours of the facility and discussing our mission, focus, and available volunteer opportunities. RSVP’s are required at rickb@doglodge.org and once your RSVP is received we’ll send you the address and directions to Dog Lodge. Volunteer applications will be on site and informal interviews may also take place. Dog Lodge Sanctuary is happy to call Hempstead and Waller County home and with your help, our community will have a huge impact in the lives of our dogs.
