Pasadena Humane Society expands

The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is expanding its role as a leading animal welfare provider in Los Angeles County by constructing its new Animal Care Campus on the corner of Raymond Ave. and Del Mar Blvd. The state-of-the-art facility may open as early as January 2014.



The 35,000 square-foot expansion includes:

· A Wellness and Spay/Neuter Facility

· A Behavior, Training and Education Center

· An Outdoor Enrichment Area

· A Larger Retail Store

· Subterranean parking

· 36 new kennels



“This is the next step in continuing to provide excellent programs for the animals,” says Steve McNall, President and CEO of the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. “No one else is doing this in the area, especially during these rough economic times. The Animal Care Campus will be a viable community resource that will help us reach our goal of zero euthanasia of adoptable animals.”



In partnership with Community Bank and with support from private donors, the $20 million dollar expansion project starts a new chapter for the 109-year-old agency. The Animal Care Campus will be a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. All daily operations, services and programs will continue during construction. A public groundbreaking ceremony will be held on Wednesday, June 20 at 11a.m. at 361 S. Raymond Ave. For more information and to make a donation, visit www.pasadenahumane.org.
