We Love Animal Shelters

Humane society shelters and animal control facilities are an important segment of the KSA architectural practice.

Inside you'll see photos of some of the recently completed buildings for which KSA did the architectural design.

The Portage County Animal Protective League in Ohio was so impressed with our facility in Crawford County, Ohio, that we arranged for them to use our plans to create a building of their own.

Currently on the drawing board is the Kane County Animal Control facility in Geneva, Illinois. When complete the building will be more than 15,000 square feet with a capacity of 150 animals.

On the smaller end of the scale, but equally exciting for our designers, we hope to begin work on a small addition and alterations to the Toledo Animal Shelter (TAS).

Described by the TAS board president as "the Cadillac of non-profits," the 75-year-old group was begun by society ladies primarily to rescue the dray horses who pulled milk wagons in this northern Ohio city.

Supported by fund raising, an endowment, and generous members, this private group does all spaying and neutering and is a no-kill shelter. They receive no government funds.
