Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary Partners with DAWS to Find Older Dogs Homes

NEWTOWN, CT — The Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation and the Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS) has partnered to create the Senior Paw Project to match senior dogs with area residents.

The two animal welfare organizations established an "Adoption Ambassadors" program in Fairfield County, Connecticut, in collaboration with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) in order to find loving homes for senior animals so they don't have to live their final days in a shelter.

Senior Paw Ambassadors provide homes for dogs or cats available for adoption and help other animals find loving homes through word of mouth, social media posts and emails to friends and family. Ambassadors can process adoptions themselves by participating in adoption applications and surveys.

About the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, Inc.

The Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, Inc. is a charitable organization that supports projects and programs that best reflect and honor Catherine’s memory, including the CVH Animal Sanctuary, Cornell Veterinary Medical School’s Shelter Medicine Scholarship, Catherine’s Peace Team, and Catherine’s Cups of Kindness.

On December 14, 2012, a gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School and took the lives of twenty innocent children and six adults. One of the victims was six-year-old, Catherine Violet Hubbard, a beautiful child who will be remembered for her love of all animals, her beautiful red hair and her constant smile.

In memory of Catherine Violet Hubbard’s love of animals, her sanctuary will serve as a place of healing; a place where lives are saved, a place to launch humane education programs – a place where all creatures, great and small, are rescued, respected and loved.

The Sanctuary property consists of 34 acres, located in the heart of Newtown CT. The address is Old Farm Road (across from Fairfield Hills and behind Reed Intermediate).
