We will be able to report back by the first of the year on how successful the new adoption location is.

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

We are building “Champy’s Catfe,” a coffee shop/adoption center. The grand opening is planned for next Friday, Nov. 13, 2015. Originally we had planned to build the catfe in a location on the rural property where our shelter is located. However, just before we began the construction, we had the opportunity to rent a large building in the center of town, just across the street from our thrift store, Snap it Up. The new FieldHaven Marketplace will contain Champy’s Catfe, an upscale version of our current thrift store, an artisans’ coop and a community education center.
