The document outlines the daily routines and design considerations for an animal shelter. It discusses various routines such as staff and animal arrivals, hygiene and welfare, animal feeding, exercise and enrichment, veterinary care, and bedding down and shelter closure. Key design considerations include areas for intake, holding, and viewing animals. It also covers facility features like heating, ventilation, drainage, and noise control.
