The dogs are no purebreds but to boost the popularity of these dogs shelter workers invent funny breed names for them based on their characteristics like “Chubby-Tailed German Dobernauzer” or “Fire-Tailed Border Cocker.”

When Hailey was 5, she saw a homeless man and asked her mom whether she could help him by buying a sandwich

When Fort was 5 years old, she asked her mother, Miranda, about helping a homeless man she saw in Bremerton, Washington, where she lives. Her mother said yes, and now they work together to help the needy. The man she helped, Edward, has become her friend. She builds the shelters, “so then you don’t get rained on and you feel safe and stay dry.” “It just doesn’t seem right that there are homeless people,” Hailey told King 5 News. “I think everyone should have a place to live.”

Since then, this 9-year-old has been building mobile shelters to help her homeless friends

“It just doesn’t seem right that there are homeless people. I think everyone should have a place to live”

Thanks to discounts, each shelter costs only about $300 to build

She gets some help and guidance from her parents but does much of the construction herself

She also plans to grow 250lbs of food for the homeless in her little garden

The roofed and windowed 8x4ft (2.4×1.2m) shelters are built with pallets, recycled denim insulation and wheels so they can be moved

The heavy steel hatch opened up to reveal a 8-foot-by-10-foot bunker.

The Zwick family had been living in their home in Neenah, Wisconsin for over a decade. They always knew there was a metal door hidden in the ground in their backyard, but they never thought to explore it before. Then, one day, the family decided to crack open the metal hatch.

As it turns out, there was a Cold War-era fallout shelter buried in the backyard. A ladder led them down into a bunker, which was a treasure trove, full of items from the past.

It was time to find out what that metal door was hiding.

This ladder led down to the bunker, which was filled with water. There were boxes floating, filled with supplies

The shelter’s previous owner packed away food and snacks for their stay underground.

“It was all of what you would expect to find in a 1960s fallout shelter. It was food, clothing, medical supplies, tools, flashlights, batteries – items that you would want to have in a shelter if you planned to live there for two weeks.”

The vintage products were the best part of the discovery.

“The family donated all of the items to the Neenah Historical Society.”

The vault in their yard was a giant time capsule.

Frank Pansch, a local surgeon, was the home’s previous owner. He built the shelter in 1960, two years before the Cuban Missile Crisis. During that time, many Americans were preparing themselves for nuclear warfare.

Most fallout shelters weren’t intended to protect a family from a blast, but to keep them safe when the area would be full of radiation and nuclear fallout.

This family was lucky to have such a once-in-a-lifetime discovery. They had a little piece of history hidden in their yard for years.

The Morrison shelter were indoor shelters with a cage-like construction beneath it. It was designed by John Baker and named after Herbert Morrison, the Minister of Home Security at the time. It was the result of the realization that due to the lack of house cellars it was necessary to develop an effective type of indoor shelter. The shelters came in assembly kits, to be bolted together inside the home. They were approximately 6 ft 6 in (2 m) long, 4 ft (1.2 m) wide and 2 ft 6 in (0.75 m) high, had a solid 1/8 in (3 mm) steel plate “table” top, welded wire mesh sides, and a metal lath “mattress”- type floor. The shelter was provided free to households whose combined income was less than £400 per year. 500,000 Morrison shelters had been distributed by the end of 1941, with a further 100,000 being added in 1943 to prepare the population for the expected German V-1 flying bomb (doodlebug) attacks.
