The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) broke ground April 8 on its new, three-story, state-of-the-art Animal Care & Adoption Center at 10 Chandler St. in the South End.
The new building, located on the Chandler Street site the ARL has called home since 1956, comprises an Animal Care and Adoption Center; a Shelter and Community Veterinary Hospital;
myriad support services for pet owner services; Boston Veterinary Care, ARL’s outpatient veterinary clinic; and a center for dog training classes. It’s also the flagship location for ARL’s Humane Education Program. Construction of the approximately $48 million facility is slated to
begin in late spring 2025, with completion expected in 2026. There will be no disruption to ARL’s services during construction as the existing Animal Care and Adoption Center will remain fully operational during construction. Shown above, Mayor Michelle Wu (center) and other dignitaries
