Waypoint 3: ​The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary 

Nestled in the very heart of Newtown and spread over 34 acres of pristine farmland, breathtaking woodlands, and rolling meadows, the home of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary is coming to life. The sanctuary pays tribute to Catherine Violet Hubbard, a 6-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Honoring the bond between humans, animals and the environment, the sanctuary is elevating kindness for all through pet adoption and rescue collaboration events, free community workshops, pollinator protection, virtual and in-person education, and programs to help senior citizens keep and care for their pets. The sanctuary lands are currently open to the public from dawn until dusk and visitors are welcome.
