Halifax Humane Society is partnering with the Volusia Mall to establish an off-campus dog adoption center.

This collaboration emerged as a response to challenges HHS faced due to the recent upper respiratory infection outbreak, according to a news release. The new center is in the design phase and will be located at the former Rack Room Shoes space within the Volusia Mall.

"The decision to open a dedicated dog adoption center within the mall reflects our commitment to finding innovative solutions that bring our wonderful dogs closer to loving families," the news release states. "By establishing a centrally-located adoption center, we aim to provide a convenient and welcoming environment for potential adopters to meet and connect with our adorable furry friends."

The dog adoption center will feature spaces designed to facilitate the adoption process.

"Together, we can raise awareness about the immeasurable joy and fulfillment that comes with adopting a shelter dog," the news release states. "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Volusia Mall for their partnership in making a positive difference in the lives of animals and families."
