Ellington Animal Control's adoption process
Additional adoption info
All animals are adopted out under the State of CT. Animal Population Control Program, if they are not spayed or neutered. The cost for adoption is $50, which includes a voucher to help with the cost of the spay or neuter and includes the Rabies and Distemper shots. This program is only available to residents of the State of CT. The cost for Out of State adopters or for pets that are already spayed or neutered is $5. The results from this Spay and Neuter Program have already begun to help the over-population in the State of CT. We hope that every State will make an honest effort to insure that Shelter Pets are Spayed or Neutered when adopted.

About Ellington Animal Control
We are the Animal Control Facility for the Town of Ellington, CT. We take in stray dogs and make every attempt to reunite them with their owners. If that fails, we do our best to try to find them a new home. At this time there are no roaming laws for cats so we cannot pick up stray cats, unless it is an urgent situation. We can only take in unwanted/relinquished pets as space permits.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
