7. Short description of proposed project.
To support our canines and keep them adoptable, the Palm Springs Animal Shelter
provides a number of enrichment programs, the most important of which is our
dog play groups offered 3 times a day. These play groups are run by our volunteers
and staff and take place in three enclosed yards on the east side of the shelter.
When constructed, these areas were not shaded. Currently, these three areas are
partially covered with temporary shade cloth. Due to the high temperatures, high
winds and periodic rain, this covering has to be repaired and replaced regularly. It is
critical that these play areas are shaded to provide relief from the intense sun and
heat for both our dogs and humans. With our summers getting longer and hotter,
providing permanent shade to these play areas is vital to the health and well-being
of our animals and the humans who care for them. We are requesting funds to
install permanent shade structures to cover these three dog play areas.
