A specialized pregnancy chamber provides automated sterilization, environmental control, and gentle bathing and drying mechanisms for expectant dogs. The shelter includes an innovative waste management system that converts animal waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer using microbial decomposition. A central control unit coordinates all subsystems, while cloud connectivity allows remote monitoring and data-driven decision-making by veterinarians and shelter staff."
