AC Doggy Haven-A Project of Barrio Dogs for Better Communities

Late last year, we broke ground on a new project at AC Boarding & Grooming and we’re excited to get started turning the backyard at the facility into a haven for our animals and theirs. Progress on the renovation has been slow but now we feel we are blessed with more help and interest in seeing this project through. Volunteers have already begun clearing the land for the groundbreaking and digging up stumps and weeds but there is continued work needed in the way of landscaping, cleaning and painting.  Our volunteer artists are near completion on the doggy artwork and our goal is to have the facility in tip-top shape when the artwork arrives.

Facility location and volunteer schedule are as follows:
