LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Construction Fundamentals class at Mendocino College’s Lake Center has collaborated with the Orphan Dog rescue organization to build a beautiful new kennel to house rescue dogs.
Orphan Dog and Mendocino College thanked sponsors First Pick Construction, Lucerne Roofing and Trex Building Materials.
Orphan Dog and Glenn Mueller, the course instructor, donated additional materials and plans to the construction class, and students and instructor provided the labor.
The students will present the kennel to Orphan Dog on Thursday, April 21, at 6 p.m. at the Lake Center in Lakeport.
This is the first Construction Fundamentals class offered at the Lake Center by Mendocino College’s Sustainable Technology Program, which is planning to offer additional courses in the building field this summer and in the coming semesters. Check the www.mendocino.edu online schedule for details.
Orphan Dogs is a 501(3)C organization that rescues dogs from Lake, Mendocino and Humboldt Counties. All of the animals are housed in foster homes or on the 80-acre Orphan Dog Ranch.
This year will mark the 3,000th dog homed by Orphan Dog, which is an all-volunteer rescue group. One hundred percent of every donation goes to the rescue, care, and rehoming of the dogs.
