Yesterday, Marsha Panuce, Founder/ President of Donte’s Den Foundation and Mike Carter, President of Mike Carter Construction celebrated the opening of Donte’s Den state-of-the-art canine campus with a private ribbon cutting ceremony. Set on 50 pristine acres of central Florida countryside, the new facility is specifically designed to give temporary and permanent homes and personal attention and quality medical care in a homelike setting to canine companions who are separated from their owners due to illness, injury, abandonment, long-term travel or military deployment. The campus boasts a host of facilities designed to serve dogs and those that love them.  A Welcome Center is the first stop for dogs where they can receive an initial health check-up and salon grooming before heading back to the spacious dens that house canine residents. The adoption center offers top-notch temporary residence for homeless and abandoned dogs. Nestled between the two housing facilities is a veterinary hospital that administers full canine medical services, from spay and neuter to neurosurgery. Dogs large and small can enjoy pine forest trails, spacious meadows and a bone-shaped hydrotherapy pool. There’s even a lakeside memorial pavilion along with a rainbow bridge and butterfly gardens for the public to honor the memory of beloved pets.
