The Search For Dog Kennels And Runs Ends In Much More

In 2009, the Central Vermont Humane Society was facing a problem of too few dog kennels and runs

. Simply put, they had run out of available space.

Enter Ruby's Run, a boarding facility for cats and dogs only a few miles away. The owners decided it was time to close shop. The Central Vermont Humane Society took a look at the available property and pounced.

Not only did Ruby's Run already have many of the facilities a humane society would need, but it also had an excellent site. The humane society was on a dirt road over a bridge and off of a major route. If you missed the sign, you missed the turn off. A 4-wheel drive vehicle was often required to get to the humane society due to the condition of the road.

Located on a major route, Ruby's Run is set back but highly visible. The sign, set up on owned property, was large and easy to see. There were multiple acres of cleared space for walking dogs or holding fundraising events in the front of the building. There were more than twice as many acres around the sides and back, also cleared and fenced.

After the purchase of Ruby's Run, it took several months before the humane society could move in. After struggling for years with inadequate and inefficient space concerns in their earlier site, they took their time planning the new one.

While many amenities were already at Ruby's Run, others were not. The cat area was quite small, as was the medical treatment area. A humane society needs to separate the strays that owners might collect from those animals that are up for adoption. Months went into the planning of the new facility, while fundraising efforts continued.

Finally, in September of 2009, the construction was begun. They created a whole new wing for the cats. The former cat boarding area was combined with the previous animal treatment area to create a medical facility. Offices were formed upstairs. A meeting area, used to decide if a potential adoptee will get along with established pets, was created. The basement was turned into a training area, as well as an exercise area for inclement weather.

Every square inch of the former Ruby's Run has been developed into something to meet the needs of the Central Vermont Humane Society. The construction continued into 2010, chronicled by a blog. Many volunteers assisted with the painting, cleaning, and moving.

Towards the end of February 2010, everything was ready. The move of animals and supplies to the new place took place. Due to the amount of planning, everything went smoothly. The animals easily adapted to their new homes, and the space was equipped for anything the staff required.

In the end, it was clear that what started as a search for more dog kennels and runs ended up as a benefit for more than just the animals. The new place has spurred more visitors and more donations. This has allowed the humane society to hire more staff to care for its increased population.
