Palm Beach County Animal Care + Control Facility
West Palm Beach, FL
PGAL, in collaboration with Animal Arts, designed a state-of-the-art shelter that elevates the standard for animal care in Palm Beach County. The facility replaces an outdated, undersized building with a modern campus focused on wellness, safety, and adaptability.

Located on a 14-acre site, the 100,000-square-foot facility accommodates up to 302 dogs, 250 cats, and various livestock. Designed to maximize daylight and provide a calming, welcoming environment, the facility includes indoor/outdoor enclosures, species-specific housing, and efficient circulation for both animals and staff.
To meet the County’s evolving needs, the design incorporates a fully equipped veterinary clinic and flexible spaces that support future program growth. Additional amenities include a volunteer administration area, adoption center, warehouse, barn, and animal transport zones. A two-story expansion houses administrative offices and law enforcement support.
