"The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL), a female-founded animal welfare organization that has operated since 1899, received a $2 million donation Nov. 13 from Arthur and Paula Rabe, the Boston Business Journal reported. The gift will support the ARL's construction of a new three-story facility in the South End, which is expected to cost $48 million."
""Our Boston shelter is the heart and soul of the ARL Boston, but it is outdated and no longer meets the standard of care that animals deserve and that we can provide," Dr. Edward Schettino, the ARL's president & CEO, told the Boston Business Journal. The new facility will include an animal care and adoption center, a veterinary hospital, an outpatient veterinary clinic, a center for dog training classes, and various support services."
"The facility's exterior was designed by Boston-based architecture firm J. Garland Enterprises to "seamlessly blend with the South End's distinctive architecture," the ARL said. As the facility's construction continues, the original center will remain open so the ARL can continue providing its services."
Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) received a $2 million donation from Arthur and Paula Rabe to support construction of a new three-story South End facility estimated at $48 million. Groundbreaking occurred in April, and completion is expected in 2026. The existing South End shelter, in use since 1956, no longer meets current standards of care and limits service capacity. The new facility will include an animal care and adoption center, a veterinary hospital, an outpatient clinic, a dog training center, and support services. Boston-based J. Garland Enterprises designed the exterior to blend with South End architecture. The original shelter will remain open during construction.
