New Beginnings!
A campaign for an Innovative Animal Community Center

Features

The Animal Community Center will be able to accommodate up to 10,000 animal adoptions a year. With its enlightened architecture and design, the center will replace traditional chain-link cages with healthier, friendlier habitats — comfortable, home-like enclosures for dogs; condos and colonies, complete with climbing trees, for cats; and a rabbitat designed to reflect the warrens rabbits naturally inhabit. Animals will also have the opportunity to socialize and learn from each other, making them more adoptable. These new habitats will reduce stress and decrease incidents of illness for animals and will make HSSV a more people-friendly environment, facilitating more human-animal matches. We believe this innovative center will be an inspiring model of humane care and community involvement for shelters nationwide.

We’re now settled in our new Animal Community Center. The dogs are wagging their tails at their condo doors; the cats are languidly lounging in their hammocks; the rabbits are thumping happily in their Rabbitat.  Our new facility is actually enabling us to save more lives than ever!  Dogs like Jake and Farley, two beagles who needed to find a home together and did; cats like 10-year-old Binky, who now lives with his most recent roommate at HSSV and two caring new humans.
