We’ve outgrown our small no-kill shelter on Ramon Road.  We’re in need of a facility that can house more animals, accommodate dogs of all sizes, allows for robust on-site exercise, has room for behaviour training, and is better designed for the care and comfort of the animals who need us.

We are building the Center at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms, on our property adjacent to our Veterinary Clinic.

Groundbreaking targeted for early 2023.

We are a debt-free organization and have raised more that 1.2 million dollars for the new Center.

Our projected cost is $10.5 million.

Approximately 12,000 square feet of indoor space.

The Center will house up to 40 dogs and 40 cats.

The Center will feature a Humane Education Center and multi-purpose room. In this space we’ll teach pet safety, pet ownership, animal anti-bullying, anti-cruelty lessons, and hands-on experiential learning with live animals. We’ll hold Summer Critter Camps and special events. The grounds will feature a covered dog park and a covered canine training park. We’ll have dog suites that accommodate dogs of all sizes, a large central cat room and multiple cat cubicles and an enclosed cat patio.
Our rooms for sick and quarantined animals will have isolated air ducts to reduce the spread of disease. Our phase two will include space for administration offices along with an expansion of our veterinary clinic to accommodate more pets and provide specialty care services

The Center will feature a mid-century aesthetic design to match the history of our Desert culture.

The Center will utilize digital and green technology throughout. We’ll feature solar panels, solar tubing and H2O recycling landscaping. We’ll have touchscreens at every dog and cat room for potential adopters to instantly share and post images and information about our pets for adoption.
