PROGRAMS & PROJECTS
Everything we hope for this non-profit to be is based on volunteer efforts, community support, and donations.
With your help, we are focusing our efforts on medical procedures, shelter enhancements and community outreach.
Shelter
Enhancement Projects
Help us enhance animal shelters by donating. We aim to create clean, grassy play areas for animals. Install shade sails for heat relief. Provide toys for a positive waiting experience.
Grass Areas & Landscaping
We have started making significant improvements to the heavily used outside fenced in play yards at the shelter. With the help of volunteers, including animal loving high school students fulfilling community service requirements, we have done significant landscaping and have plans for more, including outdoor furniture and enrichment/agility structures for the dogs
Visual Barriers
The play yards are directly visible from the outdoor portion of the dogs pens. This created distractions for the dogs in the play yard and unnecessary stress for the dogs in the pens. The blue visual barriers, purchased and installed by AROO volunteers, reduce visibility and dampen sound, while still allowing plenty of sunlight for the pens.
Shade Sails
A future initiative includes installing shade sails to protect animals and their humans from the sun's heat. These structures will offer a cool and shaded space for animals to relax and stay comfortable during hot summer days.
