Sandy Appel is the Assistant Director of the Humane Society of Kent County.
“I have worked my entire life in Kent County since 1993. There’s a good feeling in Kent County, the community, and the way people really care about the community. It’s really heartwarming to see how much people really care about animals. And especially since these animals come to us through no fault of their own. They’re homeless animals of Kent County, and they don’t have a voice so we are their voice basically, and we’re there to provide the best possible environment for them until we can find them that suitable home that they deserve. And we just had a success story of Cleo, who was one of the dogs at our shelter who has been there since September of last year, a very long time, and she just got adopted on Friday afternoon. Lots of tears.”

Editor Note: The Chestertown Spy and RiverArts have partnered in 2016 to share the art organization’s community arts project “Humans of Kent County,” designed to celebrate the wonderful, unique folks who live and work in Kent County. Citizens are invited to interview and photograph from young to old from all corners of the county and to submit a photograph and brief story to be part of the project. It will be posted on the Spy each week and each quarter the most interesting photos and stories will be enlarged and produced for an exhibition at the RiverArts gallery in Chestertown.
