My story

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

Hi there! I’m Gonzo, pleased to meet you! Are you looking for a little friend to keep you company on walks around the neighborhood? Someone to play with toys and snuggle in your lap? Well you’ve found him!

I’m a 2 year old Shih Tzu mix, weighing in at 12lbs. I LOVE people, I like meeting new people or I’d be happy just hanging out with my family around home. Are you looking for someone to take along when you go out to fun places? That’s me. I’m small enough to be easy to take along wherever you want to go. I’m good on car rides and well behaved around people that I don’t know. Don't let my long legs fool you - I can run like the wind with my zoomies!

Do you have kids or grandchildren? I’d love to meet them, but they should probably be at least 8 years old and comfortable around dogs.

Want to know more about me? Please send an email to my adoption counselor at tracey.d@poainc.org AND complete 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.
