for lost and unwanted animals. Other services include community education and

The Humane Society of Redmond's Mission is to provide shelter, educate the public, return lost animals
to their owners, find homes for unwanted animals, and promote humane treatment and protection for
animals.
The Proposed project is to build more outside kennels with roofs and to add permanent roofs to all the
existing outside animal kennels. At this time we have covered some of the kennels with tarps so the
animals can enjoy the fresh air while keeping them out of the elements. The tarps are starting to sag,
leaking has occurred and the flapping tarps frighten some of the animals.
Our timeline for completion of this project would be approximately 2 weeks, depending on the weather,
after we obtain the materials and labor, which would occur after we received funding. Our project
completion date is set for December 15, 2008.
This project will benefit the shelter and the animals in respect to the ease of keeping all walk ways and
kennels clean and the health of the animals not being in direct weather conditions, while enjoying the
fresh air.
