How to Find, Buy or Build an Animal Shelter in Bend OR

I have written two blogs about this topic and I think it’s important to address this topic because our company, Outbuilders.com, is one of a few companies in Central Oregon that builds animal shelters. My first article here, explains what an animal shelter is and the many different types that we build and my second article here describes how to build one yourself.

An animal shelter, in our mind, is a shelter for animals on private property. It’s not a place to send your animals for care or for abandon. The words “animal shelter” for homeless animals doesn’t really make sense to us. Perhaps it would be better to name them “animal rescue centers” or “animal hospitals”. Regardless, we build animal shelters for horse owners, cattle livestock and the like and we call them “Animal Shelters”.

Since we already wrote an article on how to build one here, this article is more of a guide for whatever your needs are for an Animal Shelter. You can buy an animal shelter for your animals from us or build one yourself or use this as a guide to find an emergency shelter here in Central Oregon for the homeless animals or sick.
