MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. — A Menomonee Falls animal rescue is facing more extensive flood damage than initially thought, after finding foundation issues in their basement.

Doodle's Ranch and Sanctuary experienced more than four feet of water in their basement during August floods.

Jennifer Alvarez and Tom Tarantino, who run the rescue, initially believed they needed a full basement repair, but they thought it was manageable damage. After contractors assessed the damage, a much larger problem affecting the building's structural integrity was found.

"Once we took the drywall off the wall, there is one wall that is cracked," Jennifer said.
