 "Help us Build it!"                                                  

UPDATE: MARCH 9TH. 2023: The cupboards are in place, but two of them were damaged and have to be replaced. As soon as they are in the shelter, Dave Flanary can commence with putting them together. Then he will put on the counter tops, install the sinks, faucets and hardware. As soon as they are done, there will be pictures on our website. Thank you for your patience. Sheckler Excavating is still waiting on the control panel for the sewer plant project. Hopefully it will arrive soon so they can get started on the sewer project. Glitches do occur!

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 15TH, 2023:   The 4 cupboards, counters, sinks, faucets, etc. have been done by Lumber Service in Carrollton. We will be installing them in the shelter next week. Pictures to be posted when completed. The sewer plant is on hold until the control panel comes in sometime in February or the 1st. of March. Weather permitting, the sewer plant will be started. 

UPDATE: JANUARY 21ST. 2023:  Forte Advantage has all the main rooms, the kennel floor and the kennel walls completed as of Monday January 16th, 2023. Our next project is getting cabinets, sinks, faucets, and fixtures for various rooms in the main rooms. And possibly the sewer plant project later this spring. 

UPDATE: JANUARY 1ST, 2023: Forte Advantage is in the process of Epoxying all the kennel walls with multiple layers. Once they are done with the walls, they will proceed to Epoxy the kennel floors. 

The Sewer Plant cannot be put in until possibly after January. There is a Control Panel needed and it will not be available until mid-January.2023. So, we wait on the weather to cooperate to see how soon the sewer plant can be done. We are researching various businesses for cabinets, sinks, faucets, and other hardware needed for 4 of the cabinets that will go in first in 4 different rooms. We will keep you posted. 

UPDATE: DECEMBER 21st. 2022: The Entire kennel walls are done. Next will be Forte Advantage to Epoxy the kennel walls, then the floors starting next week. Pictures will be coming soon in the Photo Gallery! 

UPDATE: DECEMBER 5H, 2022: The Forte Advantage Company started the Epoxy coating of the main rooms yesterday. Jesse Overholt and his helper, Josh, started the kennel walls, and the 4 ft wall also. Mike Roberts added the venting pipes and ran pipes across the ceiling to connect things at a later date. Moving along! 

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 21st, 2022: Today starts the process of putting down the epoxy coating of the entire shelter floors. The 1st. stage is to grind the kennel floor, then grind the main room floors. Then the Epoxy will be applied in various stages also. Jesse Overholt cannot do the kennel walls until he returns from vacation after December 1st. Once he puts up all the kennel walls, and the 4 ft. wall, the Epoxy Co. will apply the Epoxy to all the walls. Then they will continue to the main rooms. The sewer plant is going to be delayed for installation due to the fact that some of the equipment needed is delayed in getting these equipment items. We will update you as we progress. Total cost of the Epoxy project by Forte Advantage of Hartville is: $51,671.55 to be paid in installments as the work is done. 

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 7th, 2022: The sewer plant will be going in this November! Plus, the kennel walls and the 4 ft. wall also. Mike Roberts will be finishing up the plumbing pipes in the kennel for the hose reels, and the mop sink, plus once the Epoxy is down in the main rooms, which has to be done first, we will be installing the cabinets with sinks for the conference room, the food prep room and the clinic room. Plus, we will be installing the dog/cat tub in the grooming room, a cabinet with a sink, the dishwasher in the food prep room, the 2 mop sinks in the mechanical room and the kennel area. Plus, we will be getting the washer & dryer to be installed then too. Once the Epoxy is done in the main rooms, and after the kennel walls and the 4ft wall are up, we will have the entire kennel area epoxed too! Making progress! 

UPDATE: OCTOBER 18th, 2022: We have the sewer permit! Now we have to wait and see if the sewer plant can be done this fall! The EPA has rules and regulations regarding the soil temperature and the water moisture content for where the plant will go. It is up to Mike Hettler, our Engineer, and Sheckler Excavating, Inc. to decide. We will let you know as soon as we know! 

UPDATE: OCTOBER 13, 2022: Finally, the EPA is going to approve the newly submitted sewer plans! The new permit should be issued by Friday, October 14th, 2022. Now we have to check with Sheckler Excavating to see if the sewer plant can be put in soon or if it is too late in the season. More updates ASAP! 

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2022:  We are still waiting on the EPA to approve the sewer permit. As soon as it is approved and received, we will update you. This is very frustrating to say the least.  

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 22nd. 2022: We are still waiting for the EPA to approve the sewer plant permit. We don't have any idea what the holdup is, but hopefully it will be approved soon so we can get the sewer plant in! 

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 7TH. 2022: Shecklers Excavating has completed the grading of the well bank and ditch. They put down straw, and grass seeded both. Thanks, Shecklers! 

Also, Ken Sabol of Morton Buildings, Inc. has put up the 3 handicapped signs on the shelter in front of the handicapped parking spaces. Thanks, Ken Sabol! (He did this at no charge to us!) 

UPDATE: AUGUST 12TH, 2022: The handicapped painting was done by Ken Kennedy of Cannonball Paving. Ken also installed the three handicapped painted rubber bumpers. Cost: $1,190.00. The Handicapped signs will be mounted on the shelter by Morton Buildings very soon. 

UPDATE: AUGUST 5TH. 2022: Mike Hettler, our Engineer, is submitting the revised sewer plans to the EPA on Monday, August 8th, 2022. Now we wait for them to be approved before we can move forward with installation of the sewer plant. 

UPDATE: JULY 19TH, 2022: Mike Hettler our Engineer, is finally able to submit the sewer plant plans to the EPA by Wednesday, July 20th. to the EPA. Now we wait for them to be approved! 

UPDATE: JUNE 26TH, 2022 Mike Roberts will be at the shelter on Tuesday, June 28th, to access what all needs done for the plumbing needs of the hot water tank, the pressure tank, and the restrooms. He will schedule what needs to be done starting the first of August. 

Mike Hettler, our Engineer, is working on a new revision with another Department of the EPA regarding our sewer permit as the area of the sewer plant is less than 2 acres and this could speed things along with getting the new sewer permit.

UPDATE: JUNE 14TH, 2022: Speedy Drilling was able to dig the trench. Now he has to put in the pipeline and run the electrical lines to the water pipe and connect to the shelter. 

UPDATE: JUNE 12TH, 2022: The weather, rain, is becoming a major factor for Speedy Drilling to get the trench dug to hook up the water well to the pipe that goes into the shelter and to hook up the well pump. With being so wet, Speedy Drilling cannot dig the trench due to the mud factor. We have to wait on this to move farther along. 

UPDATE: MAY 21ST. 2022: The cement project has been completed as of May 18th. Now we wait for the cement to cure. Cost: $19,604.25. Next, we have the parking spaces and the handicapped painting done, install the bumpers and the handicapped sign by Carroll Asphalt after the cement has cured.  

UPDATE: MAY 14th. 2022: The rest of the cement project out in front of the shelter is on hold until Wednesday, May 18th. due to the cement plant breaking down and cannot deliver the rest of the cement needed until then. 

UPDATE: May 0th. 2022: On May 5th. 2022, Richmond Concrete started working on the Cement Project in front of the shelter for the handicapped area and also the pads for the man-doors on the left and also the rest of sidewalks. Project cost: $17,000.00. 

UPDATE: April 25th, 2022: We had the short road done for the drilling the water well and the water well pad by Sheckler Excavating, Inc. on 4-14-2022. Cost: $4,873.21.

UPDATE: April 21st, 2022: Speedy Drilling will commence the well drilling possibly Friday, April 22nd, or the week of April 25th. Due to inclement weather and emergency calls, there has been a delay.  

UPDATE: April 13h, 2022: Sheckler Excavating will be putting in the small road to the well pad and the well pad the week of April 13th - 15th. Thursday, April 14th. The road and well pad is done. Sheckler will finish their project when Speedy Drilling is done. 

UPDATE: March 30th, 2022: Sheckler Excavating of Malvern will be putting in the short road to the well pad site and also putting in the well pad. Once this is done, Speedy (Craig) Drilling well be doing the well drilling an also digging the trench from the well site to the pipe that connects the water to the shelter. Cost is $22,206.00 more or less depending on the drilling that needs done. 

UPDATE: March 21st, 2022: We have received the estimate from Sheckler Excavating Inc. to put in the short road to where the water well will be drilled and also the well pad. Cost: $4,873.21. This will be done as soon as they can schedule it. Plus, we are waiting for Speedy Drilling to give us the cost of drilling the water well and also digging the trench from the well site to the pipe connecting it into the shelter. 

We are still waiting for the EPA to approve the Sewer Plant application to move forward with the installation the Sewer Plant project.

Also, we have received the estimate from Richmond Concrete to install the cement for the handicapped areas in front and also the sidewalks around the shelter. Cost: $17,573.00. As soon as the ground dries out, this project will be done. 

UPDATE: March 10th, 2022:  On Wednesday, March 2nd, we met with the water well driller, Craig Speedy of Speedy Drilling and it has been determined we need a road put in from down below at our entrance to the top of the hill through the wooded area where the water well will be put in. We have contacted Sheckler Excavating to do this road that is needed, plus the well pad too. The cost of doing the road is not known at this time. We will update you as to this cost ASAP. Any donations towards this expense would be greatly appreciated! 

UPDATE: February 12, 2022: Waiting for spring and the weather to cooperate to get more things done! Please be patient with us.

UPDATE: January 10th, 2022: We are looking forward to spring to install our sewer plant project, the Water Well drilling, and the cement project for the handicapped ramp, and the handicapped parking areas and the additional sidewalks around the shelter. This will be at a cost of approximately $140,000.00. Plus, once the well is drilled, we have to make sure all the pipes are capped which will supply water to various fixtures throughout the shelter. Plus, hooking up the restrooms water supply. Once this is accomplished, we want to apply to the State of Ohio for a partial-occupancy permit so we can allow the public and members in to view what all we have done at our no-kill animal shelter! Stay with us for more details and pictures of more accomplishments! Thank you for your support!

UPDATE: December 11th, 2021. The four Geothermal units have all been finished and are running smoothly. The electrical work by Richardson Electric has been completed also. We have to wait until spring of 2022 to have the sewer plant done, the water well done, and the cement in front of the building for handicapped parking and accessibility into the building and around the building. We will do more projects as funding is raised.  Please be patient with us. We are working as best we can to get more projects done. Factors beyond our control, State, EPA, regulations and permits, and weather has been a setback, but we will move forward when the time allows us to do so.

UPDATE: November 10, 2021:  We received letter of notice from the EPA water well division that we do not have to have an EPA well but can go through the Carroll County Health Department for our water well. This will now be scheduled in the spring of 2022. 

UPDATE: October 30, 2021: Mike Roberts will be finishing up all the Geothermal units, checking to make sure they are all functioning properly. beginning November 1st. 2021.

Things happen, especially with the Covid outbreak again, and this is out of our control We will update you as soon as we know more. 

UPDATE: September 27, 2021: We are still waiting on the EPA Sewer Permit. We are now waiting on the EPA to determine if we have to put in an EPA water well or a water well through the Carroll County Health Department.

UPDATE: September 2nd, 2021. The sewer permit has been paid for to the EPA. We will wait for its approval from the EPA so Sheckler Excavating can get started with the sewer plant.

UPDATE: August 28th, 2021: We have received the EPA Water well application from the EPA. This will take a good while to complete. Very specific and very detailed. Elizabeth with the EPA helped us with this to complete it.  

UPDATE: August 22nd, 2021: Mike Hettler, Engineer for the CCAPL has re-submitted the EPA sewer plans to the EPA. Waiting now for the EPA to issue a new permit so we can get started with the sewer plant. 

UPDATE JULY 8, 2021: The CCAPL Directors have voted unanimously to have the EPA Sewer system plant, and the EPA water well drilled as soon as the permits can be obtained from the EPA Surface Water Dept. in Twinsburg, Ohio. We want to apply for a "Partial Occupancy Permit" to allow the public and members to be allowed in the shelter and to hold meetings and some fundraising events! We also have to have the cement poured out front for the handicapped ramp and the handicapped parking area and the cement sidewalks around the building. Plus, other things that have to be done to comply to the "Partial Occupancy Permit" guidelines. This is exciting news and yet, this will take some time to have this done. So, be patient with us. We are working for the greater good to keep construction going for our no-kill animal shelter and to get closer to our goal of opening. This will be a very costly part of our project and could be as much as $140,000.00 to cover all the costs. If you would consider a donation in any amount towards this phase of construction, please help us by sending a donation to: CCAPL - P.O. Box 353, Carrollton, Ohio 44615. Thank you!

UPDATE: As of February 2020, we have invested $676.227.37 in our no-kill animal shelter with exterior and interior construction. We need at least $600,000.00 more to finish and open.

We have more done as we raise the money to do so. Our goal to finish our shelter is 2025! Please help us reach this goal!

If you want to see our no-kill animal shelter finished and open to operate, we need help monetarily. Any donations in any amount will help us get more construction done. 

 As we get bids for various stages of interior construction, we will update you in the progress page. Our no-kill shelter is in need of donations at the present time which will take many dollars to complete. It takes a lot of money to keep going and to finish our shelter and then run it. So, therefore, send in your donations in any amount, and it will go towards our shelter construction needs!

We cannot do this overnight, and it could be as long as 3 -5 more years before completion, depending on funding as it comes in

We must have the geothermal heating and cooling finished, the ceiling grid and the tiles, the doors to each room with glass windows inside to observe animals, cement outside the shelter all the way around, cement for the walkway out front and the handicapped area and a ramp to enter the building, plumbing, toilets, sinks, EPA water well drilled, EPA sewer plant, lights, floor covering, Kennel walls, doors & windows finished, cement block kennels finished with chain link fencing over them, and doors to each kennel run, drop-down doors between kennels, chain link fencing around entire shelter, security videos, phones, intercom, and so much more! Tell others about us and tell them we will keep their donations local as best we can.  

Yes, we are applying for grants to help with expenses as we do construction, but your donations would help us even more to get closer to our goal of finishing our no-kill animal shelter and then operate it to save lives!

2014- GREAT NEWS! WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO STARTING CONSTRUCTION! September 2014- We are currently waiting for all the mechanical plans to be completed and approved by the State of Ohio, and for the building permits to be issued. We will start construction in the spring of 2015!

May-2014 The CCAPL Board of Directors called a special meeting after the regular meeting Thursday, May 1st, to vote on moving forward with Morton's Buildings, Inc. By a unanimous vote of all seven Board of Directors present, the motion was made by Vice-President Lorna Whaley and seconded by Barbara Manning to send to Morton Buildings, Inc. the cost of Step 2 for $22,500.00 down payment to authorized them to finalize the Architectural, Structural, Electrical, Plumbing and HV/AC designs and obtaining the permits, based on the Conceptual Plan completed under Step 1 as noted and approved by the CCAPL Board of Directors. Patti Willoughby, our Treasurer, sent them a check along with the signed contract by our President. (Our attorney, Kathleen Stoneman has reviewed and approved the Morton Buildings, Inc. contract.)

Shawn Simmerman, the Morton Buildings, Inc. representative, was notified Thursday evening regarding the vote to move forward. Shawn advised the Board of Directors at the April 24th, director's meeting, it will take approximately 4-6 months before actual start-up construction could take place. That is okay, we have worked so hard in the last seven years and almost four months to get to this stage.

Once Step 2 is completed, Shawn will handle Step 3, the actual start of construction of our no-kill animal shelter. We will send Morton Buildings, Inc. a check for $129,500.00 to pay the cost of the "shell" of the building. This will include the exterior walls, roof, windows, exterior doors, and also the insulation throughout.
