Services
Thank you Salinas
Valley Community Church for volunteer day!
Salinas Animal Services would
like to thank Salinas Valley Community Church (SVCC) for the fantastic
show of generosity from its 2008 Serve Day on Sunday, April 27. Over 60
members of the church came to the animal shelter located at 144 Hitchcock Road
to work on a number of projects including:
- Building a
200 ft. redwood fence to complete a large dog play yard
- Building
and painting dog play yard equipment
- Cleaning
and decorating the rabbit and small animal room
- Painting
the front entrance sign
- Spreading
out over 20 loads of wood chips in planters
- Planting
new plants around shelter entrance
- Cleaning
and organizing storage shed and food rooms
- Helping
with laundry and dishes
"These projects would not have been
able to be completed without the help of SVCC. This contribution from our
community made a huge impact and was a testament to what a community can do
when they work together, " says Cindy Burnham, Animal Services
Manager. "We invite the public to stop by and see how nice the
shelter looks and even more importantly, come out and adopt a new pet or look
for your lost one!"
