The
New England Park for Canine Placement is a "no kill" shelter located just outside of Concord, New Hampshire, that combines a public park with obedience training in an effort to increase adoptions, and lower the rate of "returned" dogs.
They are currently in the formation process. They will be situated on a 25-acre facility that provides obedience training to all dogs that enter their shelter. Dogs will be roaming freely on a family picnic park, allowing families to interact with dogs, and giving them a better opportunity to find the dog they want.
The NEPCP plans to finance its operations through corporate donations. Their main facility will include an indoor visitor center, Ice Cream and Beverage area, a Retail area for pet supplies and access to all indoor Kennel Condo's where dogs reside during the evening. They hope the indoor visitor center will become an ideal vehicle to heighten corporate image, create brand awareness, and increase business potential while demonstrating social responsibility and community involvement.
The NEPCP believes their model will set a new standard for rescues and shelters in the future.
