City officials have announced the construction of a $48 million state-of-the-art animal shelter in Brooklyn to help address overcrowding issues in existing city shelters. Located on Shepherd Avenue in East New York, the facility will accommodate up to 300 animals and includes features like an outdoor dog run and electric vehicle charger parking. The city faces an increased intake of pets, exacerbated by low adoption rates and a rise in pet abandonments since the pandemic. This new shelter represents a step towards achieving full-service animal shelter coverage across all boroughs.
The construction of a new $48 million animal shelter in Brooklyn aims to alleviate overcrowding and provide a humane home for parentless pets awaiting adoption.
Advocates highlight the impact of low adoption rates and the troubling trend of pet abandonment as significant contributors to the ongoing overcrowding crisis.
