Marion County Animal Services Shelter

The 21 acre site was completely developed with concrete walks, parking, and landscaping. Long walking paths and multiple play areas line the back perimeter of the site. In addition, a completely new entrance drive to the property provides safety and efficient vehicular access.

The main structure on site is a new 31,000 sf Animal Services building.  This building houses a large lobby, offices, multipurpose rooms, quarantine rooms, animal dispatch and investigators, cat adoption area, and cat runs, intake rooms, surgery area and lab. Multiple Kennel buildings support these services. There are four (4) 4,700 sf Kennel wings with 50 kennels on each wing. These kennel buildings are interior and exterior and have a corridor with a “no-fear” wall and glazing division from the dogs. The project also includes a Utility Garage that is 1,050 sf and provides both storage and work areas.
