Cromwell Animal Control's adoption process

Additional adoption info

POLICIES
All roaming dogs picked up by our office are scanned and checked for tags or tattoos. Every effort is made to reunite the dog with its owner. If the dog/cat is not claimed after seven days the dog/cat is put up for adoption.

New owners are screened to make sure proper care of the animal will take place. Making sure that both the new owner and the dog are right for each other is our utmost goal.

FEES
The State of Connecticut has an adoption program up and running. The cost of adoption for non altered animals is $45.00, plus a $5.00 sale of pet fee for a total of $50.00 for each unaltered animal. The $45.00 fee includes a voucher for alteration of the animal and shots. The new owner assumes all future veterinary fees and agrees to spay or neuter the dog/cat.
Dogs that are altered by our vet prior to adoption may have an adoption fee of up to $150.

ALL ANIMALS ARE SEEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!

About Cromwell Animal Control

Cromwell Animal Control is a division of the Cromwell Police Department.

We enforce all animal related laws including CT State Statutes and Town Ordinances. We handle all animal related calls from roaming dogs to wildlife calls.

Our ultimate goal is to teach “Responsible Pet Ownership” through public education. We speak at local schools, day cares, libraries and civic groups. We believe that by educating our youth at an early age we can prevent future mistreatment and abuse of animals. We focus on “Bite Prevention”.
There are an average of 4.7 Million people are bitten by dogs in the United States each year. The most common and most severe bites are to children. Educating children and the general public on the proper way to approach a dog is just as important as the proper care and treatment of a dog.

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.
