The Animal Control Department is responsible for the enforcement of the Connecticut State laws pertaining to animals. The Animal Control Officer investigates complaints of vicious, sick, neglected or abused animals. Complaints of dogs roaming or nuisance are also investigated. Care is provided for impounded animals at the shelter by the Animal Control Officer. Prior to adoption, all unclaimed animals are evaluated.

Adoption of a pet is $50.00, which includes a voucher from the State of Connecticut Animal Population Control Program.  The voucher assists in the cost to spay/neuter the adopted animal as well as rabies vaccination.  If the animal has been previously sterilized or the animal is to be adopted out of state the cost is $5.00.
