Update!! 10:30pm June 8th, 2026.
The problem is definitely the pump and the wiring. The wiring rubbed on the casing and the pump is 25 years old! Since the pump was put in when this home was put in, the pipe needs replaced as well. We are doing some more research to get a better cost to do it ourselves. We where contacted by the well guy this evening as well. They are also going to give us a quote hopefully tomorrow!
When it rains it pours!!
The well pump may be bad and we cannot afford to pay for a professional to come out and our founder and her husband cannot either. The pump went out on Friday, 6/5/2026 around 1 pm π.
Since the rescue is located on our founders personal property, this belongs to the founder and her husband. However, this is how the dogs get their water to drink, water for bathing and water for cleaning the buildings inside and out (sanitation). We are doing the best we can to do it ourselves, but its a pain!
If you would like to donate to help our founder and her husband pay for a pump and/or a professional to come out, please let us know ASAP! We will know the size of the pump once its pulled up! Our founder and her husband have already checked and replaced breaker and switch with no avail.
We have called a professional, but because its the weekend and due to it going out on a friday, we have not heard anything YET!
Since our founder and her husband works for Culligan, we are able to carry water to them using 5 gallon water jugs from the company. (They bring it to the rescue feom thier work).
We have also ordered a camping shower that heats water so the dogs can get a bath for the event this coming weekend π. It should be here today ? We plan to return the camping shower due to the price , because technically, we cannot afford to buy it, but its needed!!
Our founder and her husband and child will utilize a gym shower πΏ. 865-421-8227
