Stray animals often become a big problem, especially in big cities. Responsibility for solving this problem usually lies with the municipalities, but this is not an easy task, which is more and more often being taken on by very enterprising and socially active people. Setting up private animal shelters is a common practice to give homeless dogs and cats a chance to get shelter and the care and attention they need. But how much money does it take to build a homeless animal shelter and how do we attract donors to help us financially in this endeavor? For people who have decided to start this kind of project, the main concern is to create the necessary conditions for the animals to live comfortably, to which are added other additional services, such as medical care and treatment.
The first step in setting up a homeless animal shelter is to create a business plan containing all the essential components. What are they?
The first step of the animal shelter plan is determining the type of services the organization will offer. At their core is the need to provide shelter and care for the animals, which translates into:
In addition to the standard services, additional activities can be included in the plan to generate additional income for the shelter. These could be:
When setting up an animal shelter, registration is required, which can be done in several ways:
Enclosures and cubicles are set up for the dogs to stand and lie in freely. Cats are usually placed in separate cages or houses. The area of the shelter should be planned in such a way as to provide a separate place where sick animals can be isolated from healthy animals. The veterinary ward should be equipped with couches, tables, cabinets and shelving and with the necessary range of medical equipment. The shelter should also have a secure fence to prevent animals from escaping outside.
In the plan to build a shelter for homeless animals, funds must also be provided for the purchase of food and medicine. The residents of this type of organisation should be provided with dry or canned food, through which they can obtain the necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Stray dogs and cats often arrive at the shelter weakened and sick, requiring vaccinations and treatment. The list of necessary medications includes:
Along with this, the animal shelter's medical facility must also have the necessary staff to perform the various tasks in the facility, as well as ancillary supplies such as syringes, droppers, bandages, etc.
In order to implement your plan to build a shelter for animals, you will need quite a bit of money to be able to provide everything you need to take good and proper care of them. Raising the necessary amount can be done by organizing charity campaigns, the funds from which will go to the purchase of land, the necessary equipment for the shelter and everything else.
Another way to raise funds is through social networks, where news about the organization of various donation campaigns can be posted . On these places you should place ads with information about the shelter. People actively respond to messages on social networks and messages in specialized forums. Create your own donation site where you can post photos and describe your plan to build the animal shelter. Another option is to approach foundations that deal with charitable causes that you can collaborate with to make your project a reality.
