Can You Mend a Fence? Newquay Dog Home Seeks Volunteers Post-Storm

St. Francis Dogs Home is sending out a plea for skilled volunteers to help repair storm-damaged paddocks critical for their canine residents.

Following recent severe weather, the safety and security of the paddocks have been compromised, rendering them unusable for the dogs who call St. Francis home.

Urgent Repairs Needed

The series of storms has left the fencing at St. Francis Dogs Home in tatters with many posts and panels now broken. The destruction has jeopardised the safety of the dogs, making the paddocks insecure. The home urgently requires volunteers who can bring their fencing skills to the table and assist in making necessary repairs.

Materials Ready and Waiting

St. Francis Dogs Home assures that all materials required for the repairs are already on site. What’s needed now is the manpower and expertise to carry out the fixes. The organisation stresses that the primary needs are skilled hands that can manage the repair work, and somewhat forgiving weather conditions to enable the tasks.

How to Get Involved

If you possess fencing skills and are able to volunteer even a day of your time, St. Francis Dogs Home would be grateful for your assistance. Interested volunteers are encouraged to reach out directly through their website or call 07467 686260 to express their willingness to help.

A Community Effort

In the appeal, St. Francis Dogs Home has not only highlighted the urgency and necessity of the repairs but also the community spirit that underpins their work. Volunteers who step forward will not only be mending fences but also ensuring that the resident dogs have a safe and secure environment to thrive in.

The home ends its appeal with a heartfelt plea for help and a string of grateful emojis, hoping for favourable weather and an enthusiastic response from the community. Volunteers ready to pick up a hammer and nails are warmly welcomed to message St. Francis Dogs Home directly to lend their much-needed support.
