New Transitional Housing In Georgetown Will Allow Pets To Stay With Owners

By Deanna Marie May 17th

For many homeless folks, finding housing is hard enough and doesn’t get easier when they find a “no pets allowed” apartment. That’s why it’s a huge deal that this New Transitional Housing In Georgetown Will Allow Pets To Stay With Owners!

The Brandywine Valley SPCA was on location at these new units last week, offering a free pet wellness day.

 

This new transitional housing in Georgetown is a unique community run by The Springboard Collaborative. The layout includes 40 pet-friendly tiny homes for people transitioning from homelessness.

An alarming percentage of the unhoused would choose to remain homeless than accept housing that will separate them from their pets.

Imagine going through such a struggle, living on the street and finally finding somewhere you can afford to live. Then, you find out that they do not allow pets and you have to make the tough decision to surrender them or stay homeless.

Our friends at the BVSPCA are now part of the services at this innovative community. They will be providing regular free wellness care and spay/neuter.

Yarn & Bone has also jumped in on the action and promised to provide free pet supplies.

This is a big win for the homeless community and for homeless pets.

 

Baby Chicks Were Hatched at the Brandywine Hundred Library

Whether you’re a bookworm or not, the library hatched their newest family members! The Brandywine Hundred Library in Wilmington, Delaware hatched 8 baby chicks and they’re on display for anyone to come and look at them, until tomorrow, April 21st! The chicks have lived at the library for some time now (I just saw them personally for the first time the other day). Library goers were asked to vote on their names. Their names have been selected and there’s an obvious correlation to the new Super Mario movie.

This is the 5th year the Brandywine Hundred Library has had eggs hatched into chicks through the University of Delaware’s Cooperative Extension. The chicks will return to the University of Delaware sometime tomorrow, April 21st.

The Brandywine Hundred Library is located at 1300 Foulk Road in Wilmington, Delaware. The library has many other programs for children, teen, families, and senior citizens, available to the public for free. There is also a public park surrounding the property of the Brandywine Hundred Library, known as Talley Day Park.

For more information and to sign up for a free library card, visit any Delaware Library or visit their website.
