Areas East Hartford Animal Control serves

We serve the Town of East Hartford as Municipal Animal Control officers. We personally care for our dogs on a day to day basis as part of a regional effort with the towns of South Windsor and Manchester. Each town is responsible for the adoptions of their own animals. Our ultimate goal is Public safety and education about the animals in our town and to try and find a loving home for every animal that comes through our doors.

East Hartford Animal Control's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask that you come to our shelter to have an initial meeting and to fill out our adoption application. If everything goes well we usually like a second meeting involving the people who live in your home and any animals in the home as well. We take part in the APCP voucher program. It is a $50 fee for adoption and in return you get the voucher for discounted services on spaying/neutering and vaccines. These are only avaiable to residents of the state of Connecticut.

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.
