    Building

    Building a shelter is a long-term project, and some skills, like masonry or plumbing, might not be needed for many years. But to plan HAVA's future shelter, we can always use people who are knowledgeable about any building trade, architecture, land-use, animal management, finance, and more.

    In addition, volunteers with construction skills are needed to:

      Make craft items for HAVA to sell at events
      Construct dog houses for foster homes that don't already have their own
      Set up portable kennels
      Advise on any facet of shelter design and construction
      ... And more!
