Many shelter and rescue personnel find time and money are valuable commodities that are in short supply because of the time and expense spent in taking care of the animals under their care.  Because of the shortage of these necessary items, routine maintenance and improvements to the facilities that house these many needy animals may fall by the wayside. In keeping with United Pet Fund’s creed of 'Helping where Needed', UPF offers a Handyman Service where volunteers will be available to help meet the building maintenance needs and improvements when the occasion arises. After contacting UPF, a volunteer Handyman will call to assess the need and how UPF can help meet it. Labor is provided at no charge, and many times the supplies needed to complete the job are also provided at no cost to the organization that requests the service.

If you are an animal care and service organization in need of a handyman service to handle such jobs as painting, drywall  repair, light remodeling, minor plumbing work, minor electrical work, household carpentry, repair work and other  "odd jobs" and "fix-up tasks", contact United Pet Fund at 513-520-7571, or e-mail us at unitedpetfund@fuse.net.  Someone will be getting back to you within 48 – 72 hours to set up an appointment to discuss your needs. We will be servicing shelters and rescues within the Greater Cincinnati area at this time.
