Help fix up the animal shelter

June 4, 2013 By Downtown Flat Rock

animal shelter 2The Flat Rock Animal Shelter is in need of a volunteer to help fix the dog run.

The dog run allows the dogs to go outside on their own, in a contained environment. By having the dog run open, the dogs won’t be cooped up in their cages all day.

The repair is needed on the fencing. A shelter volunteer believes it is only a matter of re-securing the fencing. The shelter is looking for someone to come out and look over the project.

If the fencing can be fixed, a shelter volunteers hopes to utilize the run for the dogs. The volunteer would like to be able to put a kiddie pool in the run for playtime on the warm days.
If you can help, contact the animal shelter by sending a direct message through their facebook page.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
