STORE FIXTURES

↑ A media wall prompts
visitors to contribute
their own pet
adoption stories.

On any given day,
the SoHo space has
around 30 cats, 12
to 15 dogs and anywhere from 10 to
30 kittens, Battista
says. The teams were
sensitive to avoid the
typical loud, visually
"hyper-stimulating"
and "intrinsically
stressful" shelter environment. This meant minimizing unnecessary
stimulation, so that animals can relax and have
some downtime. The result is that they can more
authentically represent who they are, rather than
who they are in a stressed out environment, Battista explains.
By encouraging public engagement and keeping it safe and sanitary, visitors are able to focus on

the mission and the animals, instead of secondary
distractions. "People aren't burdened by guilt or
concern, so they get to really concentrate on the joyful aspects of bringing a new family member into
their home," Battista says.
The space aims to elevate the value of shelter pets
and not only engages the public in local action, but
also in broader issue awareness, which was essential for Best Friends Animal Society. The alternative
retail space is "a solutions-oriented way of engaging
in the mission and one that fits in with their daily
lives in their neighborhood," Battista says. He considers SoHo an international neighborhood, and
hopes visitors will be inspired to research progress
toward no-kill in their own states and countries,
and get involved back home.
Alomar says the progressive shelter is "not just
about adopting animals, it's about getting people
educated and involved. It's not a store-it's definitely
a retail experience."
