thinking outside the cage!
UPDATE!!!!!
We are going CAGELESS...yes, cageless living for cats AND dogs. After a year of research, discussion,
meetings, presentations, business plans, and several concepts and drafts, we are proud to
announce that the future PetPromise Animal Community Center will be a first-of-its-kind,
cageless animal care and adoption center designed specifically to house homeless cats
and dogs in an environment that is comfortable, home-like, safe and happy
for them and for the people that visit the center.
The overall concept here is that people and animals will spend their days together…not
separated by cages, kennels or glass. The PetPromise center will be a place where
people from all walks of life can gather to spend time with pets…to sit with them, play
with them, or just share time together. We envision large open spaces…communal living for
cats and dogs with natural light. This will be a place where a volunteer or visitor can
sit down, read a book with a cat on their lap…or gather to watch a game while two dogs lie
next to them.
The Cat Campus will feature open communal cat and people living areas with cozy ledges
and vertical spaces, wifi, comfortable seating and a real feeling of "home" for our cat
residents and visitors and volunteers. The Dog Campus will be made up of large open spaces
for communal cageless dog fun and a homelike feel with dog agility equipment, comfy furniture,
doggy dens, meeting spaces for visitors, and a large fenced outdoor garden for the dogs to
enjoy.
(Of course, the center will have an isolation area where new cats and dogs
are quarantined prior to entry into a group setting. There will be an on-site grooming
and medical area (for vaccinations, blood tests, vet checks, and grooming) as well as a
basement area for storage.)
This progressive concept in caring for homeless cats and dogs and bringing people and pets
together will be a model for animal adoption centers across the country.
We believe that true animal rescue is not just about saving the dog or cat and
providing shelter…but it is as much about how those animals live life while they are in
our care. We want the PetPromise Animal Community Center to be a place that is happy for
the pets that live there as well as the people who come to visit.
Thank you to our FANTASTIC architects:
for their hard work toward helping us envision this dream
The future site of the PetPromise Animal Community Center is on an approximately 1/2
acre parcel of land located at 4812 Kenny Road. (just South of Bethel Rd.) that was purchased in May 2009.
We are seeking monetary donations of any size as well as donations of building materials,
construction and carpentry services, anything would be helpful! We are working on the final budget for this project but watch for potential naming opportunities and other ways to share your passion for animals through a monetary donation to this project!
If you have a skill that may help us make the PetPromise Animal Care & Adoption Center a
reality...PLEASE let us know! No hand is too weak and no donation too small.
We need your help to fulfill this dream. Your financial support, whatever you can give, will take us that much closer to making the PetPromise Sanctuary a reality. Please help us reach our goal of building a center that will help make the future brighter for ALL homeless pets.
