Located on Parliament Avenue in the vibrant community of Harbour Landing, the Animal Community Centre will not only be the best place to adopt a pet, but also the best place to learn about, engage with, and celebrate animals.

Outdoor features include a large Pet Plaza gathering space, Dog Play Park and Pint-sized Playground, as well as several recreational spaces for adoptable animals and volunteers.

The natural color palette of the exterior provides a complementary contrast to the vibrant spaces within.

The main entrance of the building is centrally accessible from the Pet Plaza. With vaulted ceilings and bright colours, this light-filled space offers access to several services including reception, gift shop, public meeting room and Adoption Atrium. This area also provides direct indoor access to the Centre for Humane Education and Wellness.

As visitors pass through the main entrance, they will be greeted by an airy naturally lit atrium that features the entrances to the Cat and Dog Adoption Centres, educational electronic media and main donor wall. The Atrium can also serve as a reception or event space.

The Cat Adoption Center is located centrally in the Adoption Atrium. It includes a large community cat adoption room, six cat adoption suites, rooms for individual kennels, a kitchen and cleaning area, as well as a three-season Catio.

Accessed via the Cat Adoption Centre entrance, the Cat Community Room is a large habitat that will house up to twelve adoptable cats communally. The public can interact with the cats in a comfortable open setting that features built-in climbing, playing and resting structures.

The Dog Adoption Centre features fifteen dog, six puppy and six flexible use cat/dog home-like adoption suites along with two Get Acquainted rooms.

Additional features include access to indoor and outdoor animal recreation spaces such as the Dog Adoption Gardens, as well as multimedia and educational displays.

Best practice biosecurity, acoustic and odor control ensure calm, comfortable and healthy spaces for people and animals alike.

The Veterinary Care Centre will provide medical care to over 4,000 homeless, abused and neglected pets annually. Additionally, means-based subsidized spay and neuter services will be delivered to qualifying pet owners in the community.

The Centre includes a preparation and treatment area, surgery suites, imaging room and clinic pharmacy along with multiple exam rooms and recovery areas.

A lobby space with divided waiting areas for cats and dogs serves to reduce animal stress.

With a separate entrance off of the Pet Plaza, the Animal Services Centre admits stray animals, assists people looking for lost pets and accepts owner relinquished pets.

The lobby area provides separate waiting areas for both dogs and cats to support health and safety while reducing animal stress.

A signature feature within the new facility, the Centre for Humane Education & Wellness is a community amenity providing much-needed multi-use spaces.

Three adjoining classrooms, catering kitchen and classroom garden support Regina Humane Society programming and are additionally available for public use.

Whimsical and fun touches abound in the Centre and represent the joy animals bring to our lives.

Centrally located in the Adoption Atrium, the Adopt Shop retail store will support adoptions with related supplies as well as gift items for pet lovers.

All proceeds from the Adopt Shop support Regina Humane Society lifesaving programs and services to help animals in need.

The facility’s Pet Loss Support Centre is a respectful space designed for comfort and peace to help those dealing with the grief of losing their pet. Located on the southwest corner of the Centre with a private entrance, this area provides support to pet owners as they make decisions regarding cremation and memorization of their beloved family member. A quiet Goodbye Room provides a private place for grieving pet owners.

The RHS Animal Community Centre will support the needs of its rapidly growing community in an effective, efficient, and sustainable manner which aligns with best practice standards, community values and the evolution in animal facility design.
