Story

One day my sister and I were taking a walk. When suddenly we stumbled upon a furry little fuzz ball laying in the ditch. As we walked closer to it we noticed that the little furry fuzz ball was actually a scared and shivering little puppy. There was blood all over the puppy, and looked like it just had been beaten. So, my sister and I called our mom and she brought down a blanket. After we took the puppy home, we noticed that it had 2 broken legs. This is what made me start my organization.

Situation

Over the years of saving animals, Paw’s Rescue Center has become very limited of space.

• We have gotten a lot more animals so there isn’t very much room for them. Since the basement is very crowded, space for the animals has become very limited.

• Office space is also very limited, which makes it very hard to look for things like papers/letters when everything is all over the place. My office is my basement.

• The only staff members are me and my sister.

Current Office

Alternatives

We have discovered a few options to resolve our problems.

1. We buy a new building, make posters/ advertisements, etc. to get the word out about our company and have events to raise more money. Then we can hire people that will be willing to work. We will need $46,000 from Angel Funds.

2. Build our own building which would take about 8 months. We would also have to buy our own furniture. The cost of the construction and furniture would be a total of $246,000. We wouldn’t be able to pay our staff members until the building is finished.

Recommendation

I recommend that we should go with option 1, which was the option where we buy a building, create posters to get the word out to everybody and have more events to raise more money.

•This is a better option than the 2nd option because we will be able to pay our staff members and they won’t have to wait.

•We will have plenty more room for the animals and more office space.

New Building

Pets area (inside)

Pet area (outside)

Implementation

The next 3 steps to this plan would be…

•We buy the building with the money given to us by Angel funds

•Then we would proceed to put together paws rescue center

•After we have finished putting it together we will have more fundraisers/events to raise more money to keep on upgrading and making paws rescue center better.

EvaluationWe will know we have succeeded because…

•We will have more space and so will the animals, we can save more animals

•We would have more staff members to help out

•The events that we’ll have will give us more money to be used toward improving our organization and will go to the animals that need it most.
