CAHW purchased Homestead in February 2026.<\/p>\n<p>CAHW, established in 1913, also operates an adoption facility and community vet clinic in Williams Township. The addition of Homestead allows the organization to offer more resources for adopters and pet owners while helping it sustain and grow programs that help animals find and stay in their forever homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to officially reopen Homestead\u2019s doors to its clients and our community. Homestead has allowed us to expand CAHW\u2019s services to community pet parents while also generating new funding to strengthen our mission. Its services are still the same but now every wash, trim, and stay helps animals in need\u201d said Rose LoPiccolo, Executive Director.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about The Center for Animal Health &amp; Welfare, visit healthyanimalcenter.org.
