Town of Milton- New Animal Shelter 
​
Milton, MA

Project Description:

​

The Town of Milton, MA, in conjunction with the Milton Animal League is constructing a new, state-of-the-art 5,400sf animal shelter to replace the old and functionally obsolete shelter. The new animal shelter will provide a significant increase in space for animals, full surgical room for operations and procedures, adoption rooms and indoor/outdoor spaces for dogs to get regular exercise while staying at the shelter. This project has been a goal of the stakeholders for many years and when built, will be a building of pride for animal enthusiasts and residents alike. The shelter will also be a secondary emergency shelter for the Town upon completion.
