The ultimate design goal of every BDA shelter is to see that animals entering through the back door leave out the front as part of a new happy family. BDA designs healthy environments that calm and comfort pets with light and color that encourages visitor interaction and adoption. Our adoption focused designs are engineered to be odor free with specialized features to prevent disease and control potential pathogens. Acoustic control is another primary focus, and measures are taken to promote quiet spaces as well as specific design features to control pets in environments that minimize the causes to begin barking.
