1 Hollister Shelter This is where they were at the Hollister Shelter. The 6 cages to the left were rooster cages. Other cages were stacked and piled in the gated locker and covered with a plastic tarp. Hollister in the heat wave we were having at the time caused heat exhaustion in some of the workers. 100+ degrees F.	2 The Peninsula Humane Society This is the space we have to work with. It's fondly referred to as the barn. It's really more like storage for a few hay bales, a small, walk-in closet for more storage, a couple of small chicken coops (small closet size) and a patio area with screening around it to block some sun. PHS cleaned out the hay storage area for us to make it more livable. But we still have cages stacked to the gills. It makes it very cumbersome to clean and feed the piggers. But, it's cool and dry and yet warm at night and secure. So we are definitely working with what we have! There is about a 30 degree difference in temperature. Much cooler. It's right next to the bay.
