Become a Builder
Are you interested in helping to build pet shelters? Do you have woodworking shop space? If so, we welcome anyone who can follow a plan to collaborate with us.
Thank you to our supporters Wolf Concrete & Construction who supply materials and Details Insulation who spray foam the floors of every shelter at no cost to SCARS. This makes the shelters even warmer!
We are very grateful for their ongoing support!
How to help:
If you (or your company) have the space to build shelters we’d love to chat with you. Please email us at w4w@scarscare.ca
Deliver Pet Shelters
We need volunteers to help us deliver the shelters. Once the shelters are constructed or donated they need to be delivered to the home that needs it most. This is a commitment of six plus hours and we especially need people who are available during working hours Monday to Friday.
