Chesapeake Cats and Dogs, the Stevensville, MD based, non-profit animal shelter, has announced their intention to purchase a property behind Chesapeake College in order to expand their operation into a pet sanctuary.
According to Kathy Thomas, President of Chesapeake Cats and Dogs, the new venture will be called the Tree of Life Pet Sanctuary. “This is an exciting new direction for us that will allow us to help area residents by providing a safe haven for their dogs and cats if they should be unable to care for them due to health and personal issues, or even the death of their owner”, said Thomas.
The new location consists of more than 5 acres and a c.1900 farm house. Future plans include the building of a large sanctuary that will include indoor and outdoor living spaces for the animals, a multi-purpose room and a place where Chesapeake College students can take a break from their studies to commune with the animals.
