The expanded space will also create more comfortable lodging for animals. Dogs will be able to take part in playgroups held in six outdoor play yards. Capacity for cats has doubled, with adoptable cats kept in one of three free roaming cat rooms, plus an outdoor “catio.” Individual cat condos will also be used for cats who prefer to live alone.
BVSPCA purchased the site, which had formerly been a veterinary specialty care center, in 2020. After $7 million in investments from private donors and grants, the Copeland Center for Animal Welfare is named in honor of Tatiana Copeland, a long-time advocate for animals.
BVSPCA also has adoption centers in Dover, Georgetown, West Chester and Plymouth Meeting.
