I have set up an animal rescue in the Jacksonville, Florida area.
I take in animals that have been abused, neglected or simply have no one to care for them.
The rescue provides food, shelter, medical attention and love. My volunteers and I do our best to restore every animal’s health and confidence. We strive to re-home these animals whenever possible. Over the years, I’ve taken in everything from cats, dogs and rabbits to horses, donkeys and goats. We’ve even had a couple of chickens, a turkey and several squirrels. An important part of our daily operation is a secure enclosure. Because I never know what type of animals and how many we will be housing at any one time, it’s necessary to have multiple enclosures. This requires sturdy fencing. I researched the pros and cons of different types of fencing. For the shelter, cost was a big factor. After some debate, I chose a PVC-coated chain link fence. This option provides exceptional durability, visibility and safety. The smooth coating works to prevent injuries while still creating a sturdy containment for the animals. It handles animals of different sizes. The material is strong enough to withstand digging and jumping attempts. Plus, we added a reinforced bottom section. Because of the visibility of chain link, the staff can monitor the animals at all times. Another benefit is minimal maintenance. We aren’t required to paint, scrape or stain the fence. It resists corrosion, warping and pests. I worked with a local Jacksonville company called FencePro. I was pleased by the free estimate, personalized attention and quick turnaround.
