Introducing Vesper! Vesper is a six year old Hound/Lab mix weighing 47 lbs, and she is truly one-of-a-kind. She is the perfect mix of goofy and sophisticated. One minute prancing out the door for a walk and zoomies. The next minute sweetly and lovingly resting her head in your lap. Vesper has a calm, gentle spirit and after just a few minutes of cuddling, you’ll feel like she’s your soulpup. She’s extremely intelligent and will sometimes give you a single bark to remind you that you forgot to give her that treat in your hand. She'll also cozy up to you, snuggle, and then nuzzle her nose into your treat pocket. … Actually, now that we think about it, maybe she just really likes treats. Vesper is a sweet, low-maintenance pup, and she is longing to soak up the love of her very own family. If you’re interested in meeting this elegant beauty and bringing home an unconditional best friend, please fill out an application at www.poainc.org and email Lisa.b@poainc.org.

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.
