New sensors are now in place that will set off an alarm if the centre gets too hot or too cold.
According to the post, the sensors have been placed in seven locations in the facility and will set off the security alarm if the temperature goes up to 27 C or drops to 12 C.
The 14 dogs were found dead on Sept. 10 due to heat exhaustion.
