Customization for animal accessibility
I rescue, adopt and foster "undesirable" dogs at my home. Recently I have had some resident canines whom are older and require special accommodations. I found Mainland Ventures website and when I read that they are "avid supporters of local humane shelters and rescue organizations" in addition to their commitment to an ecological friendly approach I decided to hire them to make the renovations to my home. When I met Paul I knew I had made the right decision. We discussed in length my ideas and he thoroughly explained what was possible, and realistic as well as how to make the project more cost effective and efficient. He always brought cookies for my dogs and cat...which made him and his crew very welcomed in my home. I now have a fenced and sectioned yard with accessibility through a motion sensor dog door, various dog ramps, an outdoor hot water tap (for bathing dirty and happy doggies), new heated laminate flooring to keep them warm, an extensive cat walk with various perches and sleeping quarters affixed to the walls of the cat room and lastly a vented cat litter room which pulls the stinky air outside when activated by a sensor. I am nothing but happy with the work that Paul and his crew did at my home. Would I recommend Mainland Ventures to my friends? ABSOLUTELY!!! In fact, now that my friends have seen what can be done to accommodate their pets they're all requesting his phone number.

I must say that your creative ideas to make accommodations for your elderly and special needs pets has truly been inspiring to other animal lovers who have visited Homestars and read your review. I not only have installed an outdoor hot water tap for bathing my own dogs (who would want an ice cold bath even in the summer!) but for approximately 10 other dog owners/ lovers who read your review! Also, I have installed vented cat litter areas in the suites I constructed for the Aristocats Boutique hotel! What you do is admirable and I`m proud to have been able to make your humane and selfless endeavors easier. I hope to be able to volunteer more of my time to some of the rescue organizations I support this year in whatever repairs or maintenance they may require at their shelters. The world needs more people like you. All the best to you and all your lovely dogs and cats.
