Coachella Valley Animal Campus

The Coachella Valley Animal Campus is a premier shelter facility dedicated to providing top-notch services such as licensing, clinic healthcare, adoption, and volunteer resource management while providing the ultimate comfort for animals in their care.

Animal shelters and rescue groups sheltered over 6.5 million animals, including roughly 3.3 million cats and 3.2 million dogs in need of care and assistance. The responsibility shelters assume when housing and caring for these animals is steeped in their desire to give abandoned animals a safe place to live while waiting for their next home. Most shelter facilities operate on a slim budget but are motivated to treat animals with dignity and provide the healthiest environment in preparation for adoptive visitors. In addition to maintaining vaccinations, spay/neuter programs, and a healthy diet, shelters must be cognizant of their animals’ general well-being.

Koolfog Outdoor Misters Keep Dogs Cool

The Coachella Valley Animal Campus is now equipped with outdoor misters to help keep animals cool, especially during warmer months. Designed to focus on animal well-being, the facility features a spacious and well-appointed outdoor play area. Located in Thousand Palms, this shelter has installed outdoor misters to ensure their animals’ health further.   The custom-designed outdoor misters span a large shade structure to ensure healthy practices for experienced staff and animals in the yard. Outdoor exercise and socialization promote a healthy and happy lifestyle for dogs, and often, shelter animals are already stressed in their new environment, increasing their chance of overheating if it is too hot. Outdoor misters are placed in the outdoor play areas to provide a comfortable environment for pets while they enjoy their time outside. The outdoor misters are part of the shelter’s commitment to ensuring the health and well-being of the animals in their care, making it safe even in hot weather.

Not All Breeds Are the Same
A commercial-grade misting system ensures a cool environment without over-wetting surface areas. When used properly, Koolfog’s evaporative cooling power creates a temperate, cool, and non-slip environment. With professional installation, Koolfog outdoor misters are essential for animal comfort and care by providing:

  1. Humidity Control: While these systems add moisture to the air, they also help regulate humidity levels. Proper humidity control is important for pets, as overly dry conditions can lead to respiratory issues.
  2. Comfort and Stress Reduction: Outdoor misters keep pets cool, enhancing their overall comfort and reducing stress and anxiety. Comfortable pets are more likely to enjoy outdoor play and exercise, contributing to their physical and mental well-being.
  3. Health Benefits: Outdoor misters help maintain a healthy environment by reducing the risk of overheating and heat stress, which can lead to dehydration and other heat-related health problems. By providing a cooler atmosphere, these systems ensure that pets remain active and healthy, even in high temperatures.

Outdoor misters can relieve heat, enhance overall comfort, and reduce stress and anxiety for shelter animals and their caregivers. Comfortable animals are more likely to enjoy outdoor play and exercise, contributing to their physical and mental well-being. As such, attention to our furry friends’ environment can give them a fighting chance for adoption. For the most part, potential owners seek out the healthiest pets to forego the pressure of taking on unnecessary medical treatments or bills.
