The $8.9 million renovation project includes redesigned living spaces for animals, new kennels and cat exhibit areas, and updated restrooms for visitors and staff.

The project also added a modern HVAC system, electrical and plumbing improvements, new meeting and storage rooms, laundry and feeding spaces, ADA-compliant amenities, expanded parking and a walking trail for pets and adopters. Landscaping and irrigation systems were also installed.

City officials said the investment reflects El Paso’s commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and the community’s animals.
