My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mike is a 8 yr old Beagle mix, he was found as a stray in Puerto Rico with his brother Michael. He is a gentle senior boy who has been with us for quite some time. He is a shy guy, but in time he does warm up, and that in its self is really rewarding. He does find comfort in the company of his brother Michael.

Mike enjoys walks, and playtime in the yard. He does require a fish only diet as he has food allergies.
He and his is brother Michael are a bonded pair, so they will be required to be adopted out together.

The ideal home for these bonded brothers is one where they will be the only pet in the home, no cats. And a fenced in yard would be most suitable.



For more information on Mike, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for a pre adopt application. Adoption fees for Dogs (8yrs and up) is $150 Adult Dogs is $400 and Puppies under a year is $500 .

More about this shelter

Animal Welfare Society, Inc. is an independent, non-profit, non-destroy organization founded in 1965.



Our Mission is to aid and find loving, permanent homes for abandoned, stray, and abused cats and dogs in New Milford, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Roxbury, and Washington, Connecticut.



Each year hundreds of dogs and cats find refuge at our shelter located at 8 Dodd Road in New Milford, Connecticut. Abandoned dogs are rescued from the Regional Canine Facility in New Milford after the mandatory 7-day waiting period. AWS also makes periodic trips to New York City's overpopulated dog pounds and brings their animals to our shelter for placement. Our cats are found abandoned in the areas we serve.



From the moment these animals enter the shelter, they are no longer unwanted. Each is a special pet waiting for a caring, responsible, permanent home.
