Maybe buy some more property, some acreage
with an 8' chain-link fenced off the whole perimeter & gates
secluded to not have neighbors or people bitch & moan
pref. with a creek &/or a lake/pond of property, nice meadows
maybe stock it with fish & fields with local quail & pheasant
'start a big dog rescue od sorts'
I'd like to do labs & retrievers/
hunting dogs especially
especially adults & elderly dogs, but not exclusively...
I do still love puppies...
set it up like a 501c, so it will be around after me
I'd hire a few kids 18-20 somethings,
maybe even some older folks that want to still work, love animals
pay them well, give them benni's,
security for loyalty
'not like it was or when I was as a kid", made chump change...
Mostly some young people
that love animals as much as I do,
maybe have a 'live in onsite, assistant manager/security'
maybe someone like my sister Candy
or a place for several people to stay, like barracks/bunkhouse...
Kids/adults that knows
they can't make good money doing it,
normally...
Build a big *** temp controlled, long barn so all animals are inside
unless out & about, with big pens/dog runs, not like most shelters...
Well ventilated too...
A big doghouse & big bed for every dog, pee & poo pads...
But make them (my hires) pick up the poo too, not me
Take the pack out, go out for rides & runs, until I can't do it anymore
maybe bird hunts, swims, retrieves, dock dives (?) etc.
Maybe get someone to sponsor food
like Farmers Dog, Chewy, Purina, Blue Buffalo, Gental Giant
or someone to help...
Buy a few trucks/Jeeps, side-by-sides & a box truck/big van for transport
I'd like to save 100 or more dogs, in rotation
I'd give them a forever home
if I can't find fosters or good permanent homes...
Pay it forward...
I know it's a total pipedream, but it'd be cool to do,
I think (?)
I'm big softy, when it comes to hunting dogs...
So many lived a hard life, stuck in a lil' pen their whole lives...
