My story

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

Meet Lucas! Lucas is a 1 year old hound mix, about 55 pounds, and incredibly adorable. Lucas was found as a stray and we don't know his history, but he's working to gain confidence and we're so proud of how far he's come. He can be timid around new people, but he oozes sweetness and readily accepts hugs and cuddles. Lucas thinks the cuddly shelter volunteers might be a little too obsessed with his big, velvety ears ... but Lucas doesn't mind. Although he's still adjusting to new people, he never turns down a chance to meet new furry friends. Judging by the excited wags and pounces and play bows, Lucas LOVES dogs! Because of this, we think Lucas would do great with a canine sibling who can help him gain confidence as he settles in with his new family and learns that he's finally safe. If you're interested in being this sweet little guy's furever family, please fill out an application and email Lisa at lisa.b@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.
