By compiling articles and information from experts in the field of shelter planning and design, this website is intended to give you the tools you need to get started.
Whether they’re volunteers or paid professionals, the people most interested the planning and design of animal shelters share a sense of inspiration and enthusiasm about these efforts. Typically, however, they lack the support, knowledge and information about what it takes to create a state-of-the-art shelter. This website provides assistance to shelter supporters with an overview of the process and the many concerns and considerations required to achieve success.
We hope this site will guide you and other shelter supporters through the research, planning, and leadership-development issues and help you create a safe, friendly and successful facility.
Building a new, state-of-the-art animal shelter means much more than simply accommodating the growing population of strays. We hope that this site helps allow your shelter not only to provide better accommodation for stray animals, but also lead to friendly, comfortable environments where families interested in adoption can visit and get acquainted with dogs and cats that are well-cared for, well-treated, and accessible in ways that encourage their interaction with people.
Enjoy the journey!
