What is the Temple Animal Shelter Renovation Project? This project is a renovation to the Temple Animal Services and Shelter to positively impact the animals that are housed there, the residents that visit, and the staff that work there.
The expansion and remodel of the Animal Shelter:
Increased capacity to meet current and future needs by adding 40 dog kennels, as the majority of time, the 30 current dog kennels are full. This will increase the capacity to 70 kennels with indoor/outdoor access.
Climatized the current kennel space and the kennel expansion space.
Improved customer experience by creating a more visible and inviting entrance, a larger lobby and a better pedestrian flow within the facility.
Provided shaded yard space for the customer to interact with animals as they assess their relationship and the possibility of adoption.
Separated staff work areas from the customer-accessible areas and increase staff work efficiency.
Aligned the Cat Room to the public flow area and better isolates the quarantine areas of the shelter.
Created a safer environment for the intake of animals with new sally port and intake area.
Added facility security features with upgraded fencing, parking area, cameras and a door access control system.
