The new facility is centrally located to accommodate more volunteers, increase accessibility to doctors, and serve as a halfway point between Humane’s former facility and their colleague, Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control, from which they receive many of their adoptable animals.
As a leader in best practices for compassionate animal care, the new 25,000 SF shelter and education center is three times the size of their former shelter space housing twice as many cats and dogs, allowing Humane Fort Wayne to offer new services.
The new facility includes an indoor dog training facility, an education center, outdoor play areas, a state-of-the-art spay/neuter and wellness clinic, and an outdoor training center. Humane’s former space, from which they have served the community for the last 70 years, will undergo renovations to become a headquarters for both outreach and retention programs. This facility is Indiana’s first, and only, free-standing social agency for pets and their people.
