Providence Animal Shelter Moves into its New Home

September 28, 2010

New facility is twice the size of the old shelter with soundproofing, educational rooms and grooming areas

PROVIDENCE - Dogs, cats and other creatures moved into their brand new home as animal lovers, shelter staff, City officials and representatives from the Narragansett Bay Commission (NBC) cut the ribbon on the newly constructed Providence Animal Shelter.
The NBC, which acquired, through eminent domain, the property occupied by the old animal shelter, agreed to build a new facility at the City's request.

"This new, modern animal shelter, which represents the highest standards in animal care, is a win-win for everyone," said Providence Animal Shelter Director David Holden. "The facility's easily assessable location as well as the additional space will enhance our efforts to encourage more people to adopt our animals."
