The animal shelter is thoroughly ventilated with collapsible vents on each wall with ceiling fans in all hallways. A top the building is a large fan that draws fresh air in through the vents. The Animal Shelter is sanitized on a daily basis. During periods of cold weather, the kennels are heating above and below. The areas above the kennels have steam heated pipes that force warm air downward and steam heated floors where the animals lie.

There is a 2 bay garage constructed to provide an enclosed area where officers can unload animals without fear of their escape. The garage area has kennels where sick or injured animals can be housed away from other pets to prevent contamination.
