The Animal Rescue League of Boston has announced it is preparing for an extensive remodel of its Dedham shelter in an effort to improve and expand animal care and adoption center facility.

Construction is expected to begin later this summer and continue through the fall months. ARL officials say in a statement on its website that they are already looking forward to welcoming visitors and caring for animals in the new building once completed.

When construction begins, ARL officials say animals currently being cared for in Dedham will move to the organization’s Boston and Brewster facilities. Throughout construction, the Pine Ridge Animal Cemetery office will remain open to accept surrendered animals and transfer them to the Boston and Brewster shelters for behavioral and medical evaluation and adoption.

Mobile adoption events will be hosted in the Dedham area during construction with details to be announced at a later date.

Because staff is getting ready for construction to begin, in order to best care of animals and help shelter visitors as they prepare, starting on Tuesday, June 16, the Dedham shelter will be open by appointment only for adoptions and surrenders. If you need help you are asked to call the Dedham shelter at 781-326-0729.
