satan’s maw

May 2, 2022

I called about a starving cat and I got the patronizing brush off. I don’t want to see the cat die. The animal is owned by a crazy person who won’t or can’t take care of it. Animal Welfare said, “They don’t want to get involved.” I guess I’ll try the state of Connecticut Department of Agriculture’s Animal Control Division. Maybe they can help. Daws didn’t want to listen.

Very nice and caring people. Definitely care about finding the right home for each pet. My friend is going to be getting her forever dog in the next day or so. Cannot wait, he is such a love

What to do when you find a dog on the street? Is not the first time I see this dog when I take mine outside. First time I called the owners and told them to keep him leashed.

francis rivera | Sep 19, 2020
Josh Massa | Sep 19, 2020

If you know who the owners are, then return the dog to the owner or call them as you said you have their phone number. Imagine someone sending your dog to the pound, knowing it belongs to you, because they were too inconvenienced to call you. Dogs aren't just animals you send off because you're inconvenienced, they're in more cases than not a member of the family. If you're actually concerned for the animal, make sure it gets returned home and not sent off to the pound.

ako si kikoy | Sep 20, 2018
Kevin Hickey | Sep 20, 2018

They don't accept incoming from the street, as it's a health and safety concern... However local animal control can help....

The cats have a respiratory illness for a while. No one picks up the phone and there is no longer any voicemail. When we will we know the cars are better? I put in an application 2 weeks ago.

Maritza Chacon | Sep 20, 2018
Amy Barry | Sep 20, 2018

No. Fortunately the rescue organization is able to take care of the spaying/neutering and the first sets of vaccines. Those peocedures cost them money, so they do charge an adoption fee.
