The central heating doesn't work throughout the shelter, so space heaters are used to keep two rows of kennels warm. These keep the dogs warm and safe, but are not in compliance with city code. Since a feasible solution was in place to keep the dogs warm through the winter (and we still hope to build our own forever home in the very near future), these expensive repairs had not been made a priority over the medical and routine needs of our furry friends. However, the propane heaters are not in compliance with city code, so they need to be replaced.
