Dogs have been so integrated into human life over the past few decades that they have literally become a part of our lives. Because dogs are the most dependable and sociable animals on the world, people have domesticated them for use in a variety of settings. This became one of the main drivers of economic growth as well as the improvement of one's physical and mental health. They can help in therapy and treatment of the person suffering from various disorders. Like people, dogs have a long list of needs based on their physical and psychological characteristics, making it conceivable to construct a home specifically for a dog to live in. This paper would be an effort to build spaces for dogs to improve their relationship with people and the environment. Architecture is all about designing a life. Physiology and Psychology of the dogs are very important factors while considering the design for them. We must also understand how humans, animals and the environment are related to each other and how they interact to create interactive spaces for them. Proper site selection, building layouts and adoption procedures considerations are to be followed while designing the shelter along with the outside landscape as well.
