Renovation

October 19, 2010 – The long road is over. Five years of planning, a year and a half of construction, and we are finally done! (Watch a video of the renovation.) The best part is, the renovation has fulfilled our goals:

  • Provide housing designed to reduce stress and disease for all animals in our care so they are healthier, happier and more adoptable. Gone are the days of dogs frantically barking and jumping, gone are the days of kitties sleeping in their litter boxes due to stress. Our million dollar air handling system is doing its job, virtually eliminating disease in the building and significantly reducing stress in the animals by controlling the smell of other animals. Humans notice too. There is virtually no odor- the air is fresh and clean.

    • Construction dog and cat

  • Create a warm, relaxing, efficient, eco-friendly facility that will welcome more potential adopters and supporters. Indeed, from the moment we opened the new Adoption Center the number of people visiting has skyrocketed, and with that significantly more adoptions! More pets homeward bound!
  • Provide space to support Humane Education Programs, Dog Obedience Training and Community-oriented Seminars. We are already offering Dog Obedience and Agility Training, and are gearing up for some great seminars and Humane Education programs!

The renovation is not about looks. By fulfilling the goals above, we have successfully increased the numbers of animals we help. This renovation is specifically designed to fulfill the Vision of the MCSPCA:

The Vision of the MCSPCA is that we will be established firmly with our own unique identity throughout NJ and the animal welfare community as a leader in all things related to animals in Monmouth County and the people who care for them. We will be responsible for ensuring that all animal abuse is prosecuted and will increase our support of campaigning for the rights of animals in NJ. We will be a strong partner with other animal welfare organizations throughout the state in order to develop and share best practices, and to work together to make NJ a place where every animal is treated with respect, kindness and love.
