My story

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

Meet Diva! She is a whole lotta dog in a 9lb package! Diva is the life of the party and is a 3 year old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix who loves people. She is a smart, energetic little firecracker that needs daily exercise and mental stimulation - no full-time lap dog or couch potato slouch here! Diva is looking for a home that will continue her training and show her structure and routine. She is overweight and needs a home committed to helping her to lose weight. Diva wants to be the only dog in her home please. Homes with respectful children, 10 years of age and older may be considered. For more information about Diva, please contact Beth at beth.b@poainc.org and fill out an adoption application ASAP at www.poainc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We do have a screening and application process. Protectors of Animals requires a veterinarian check before any adoption.

One of our experienced Placement Team members will meet with you and show you the cat, kitten or dog you are interested in, or will guide you towards cats, kittens or dogs that are appropriate for your home environment. We will discuss with you the background of the cat, kitten or dog and what special needs or requirements he or she may have. We will happily take the time to carefully answer any questions you have or discuss any concerns.

POA does not charge an adoption “fee.” It costs POA anywhere from $100 and $400, or more, per dog or cat or kitten to make them well and prepare them for adoption. We are an all-donation organization and we rely on adoption donations to help us continue our work. When you adopt a cat or dog, we will ask for a donation. Our adoption donation information can be found at our website at www.poainc.org.

More about this rescue

We are a NO-Kill rescue and shelter for cats and dogs.

POA was formed in 1975 to rescue abandoned, abused and stray cats and dogs. Today we are one of the oldest and most respected animal welfare organizations in the northeast. POA is here to stay! You will not find a more dedicated, experienced or thorough resource for improving the lives of Connecticut cats and dogs. We confine our focus to our home state because this is where our infrastructure and resources reside, as well as our leadership.
