It's now not just funny but ridiculous!

Yep - 7 weeks and still only 1 plug, no hot water until I called a friend to get the new tank installed today. We just couldn't wait for the contractor any longer - we are all stressed and he is giving us more grey hairs every day! You can build a new house in 30 days yet can't install plugs and lights nor have water in an already existing mobile home in 7 weeks Ha! Ha! Ha! This guy is just incredible, more problems than ever - they even fludded the house one day and left it there so all the flooring had to be removed!!! YIKES! Well, even with all of that - we are pushing through, took a few yip yap's yesterday and are going on strong... This challenge is overwhelming but it is here for a reason and one day I may tell you what that reason is... when I know myself!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Even though there is bad, you turn the corner and you see good so it even's out in the end. We are keeping the faith, courage and hopes that this will all be something in the past soon... while we get to finally enjoy the peace and quiet of the little hobby farm many call home!

Registered Charity

Look at that; NARC is now officially a REGISTERED CHARITY! Our number for those who need it is: 844693788RR0001

Finally starting to look like a home

Although we still don't have water and the electrical is still not fully complete - it is finally starting to look like a home and will become a great shelter for the rescues! We are still closed and will certainly re-open by March 1st. Can't wait to get little yip yap's back home with us and snuggle up with them in the mobile home... We are all exhausted, our volunteers (our angels) have come every weekend to help putty, drywall and whatever else needed to be done - thank you so much for all the hard work you have put in and donations all of you have brought in. It will certainly make this a bit easier for NARC to get back up and running full speed ahead! Few more weeks - can't wait to call the SPCA and get loads of doggies back to the farm!
