HOMELESS NO MORE…<br />
The Need is Now<br />
Plans are being finalized for a new Pet Adoption Center, which will increase our adoptions by as much<br />
as 50% – saving thousands of additional dogs, cats, puppies and kittens and making Peggy Adams<br />
Animal Rescue League one of the largest nonprofit pet adoption programs not just in Florida, but<br />
throughout the United States.<br />
Our new Adoption Center is being designed by Jackson & Ryan Architects of Houston, Texas, specialists<br />
in the field of state-of-the-art animal shelter design. The Center will include the latest advances in<br />
showcasing our animals and offer the kind of housing, training, and interactive spaces that will allow for<br />
increased animal enrichment and decreased noise levels, thereby reducing the stress of being in a shelter.<br />
It will feature weather-wise play areas for exercise and behavioral training as well as efficient, dynamic<br />
adoption counseling centers immediately accessible to families wishing to offer a dog or cat a Forever<br />
Loving Home.<br />
The new Adoption Center will enhance all of our programs and will do for adoptions what the Grace<br />
Pavilion has done for our spay/neuter program, which has quadrupled from 4,883 in 2009, the last year<br />
before the Pavilion opened, to over 16,000 in 2016!<br />
The addition of the Adoption Center also will allow for the expansion of life-saving programs at the<br />
Grace Pavilion, including our neo-natal Kitten Nursery, our Foster Care program and our Wellness<br />
Clinic, which serve our community by improving the health of thousands of dogs and cats in Palm<br />
Beach County. Our Domes will remain active, too, housing Animal Intake, Stray Holding, our public<br />
service Call Center, and Peggy’s Pantry Pet Food Bank.<br />
