Under the innovative guidance of ARQ Architects (a leader in humane shelter design), the renovation of the League’s Dedham Animal Care and Adoption Center will provide the latest animal welfare and wellness features while providing a more pleasant environment to facilitate pet adoption.
The upgraded facility will allow for a healthy, comfortable, soothing envirnoment to better meet the physical, medical, behavioral and psychological needs of animals in our care. Equally important, it will incorporate the latest in energy efficiency, sustainability and green technology.
“This project will truly be an example of what can be accomplished through creative design and renovation of an existing structure for small shelters everywhere that can’t afford to do a tear-down but can afford a re-model,” says Dedham Animal Care and Adoption Center Manager Lisa Lagos.
The total project cost is $2.7 million dollars and the ARL of Boston’s Board of Directors has committed $1.5 million from the Capital Spending Fund with the expectation that $1.2 million will be raised through fundraising. Since October 2011, $657,000 has been committed by individuals, charitable foundations and corporations.
