Lydia
Schauer Foundation donates to the Animal Shelter
GREENVILLE - The Darke County Friends of the Shelter would like to
thank the Lydia Schauer Foundation for its wonderful donation. Most of
the walls inside the Darke County Animal Shelter are cinder block and
needed to be painted, so the Director of the Shelter has asked the
organization to brighten up the inside of the Shelter with a special
paint scheme to create a nice and friendly atmosphere for the people
who are coming to the Shelter to find a four-legged companion or family
member. The Director of the Shelter envisioned a rainbow of colors with
some pleasing animal scenes.
The group is always working to keep the Animal Shelter and Dog Park
looking nice as well as updated and wants the community to have a
positive experience at the Animal Shelter when they come to look at the
dogs and cats that are available for adoption. Lydia Schauer’s donation
made all of this possible!!!! The adoption room now has a ceiling. It
is a small room inside the shelter that is surrounded by cinder block
walls and a door. It is close to the dog kennels and very noisy in the
small room. To improve the noise level, the ceiling was lowered and
small roof was placed on top of it.
This had actually been suggested by people that were looking to adopt
their four-legged companion. The group also had one of the walls
decorated with dogs and cats and a pleasing mountain scene. The rest of
the money is put towards the upkeep of “Scentral Park”. The Dog Park
requires a lot of daily, weekly and monthly maintenance. Most of it is
done by the volunteers. The Darke County Friends of the Shelter cannot
thank the Lydia Schauer Foundation enough for all they do for the Darke
County Friends of the Shelter.
