Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Allow us to present to you Gus, Sir Gussy Poo, Lord Gussy….a fine distinguished gentleman with the highest of manners! Gus hails from the distinct land of the pit bulls and at 76 pounds with a silky gray goat, he’s very impressive amongst the civilians of POA👑 Gus has found himself blazing a new trail, embarking on a new life, and he needs YOU to help him!
Gus is in need of some TLC and a safe new castle to reside where he can heal from some infections (sustained from the long journey that it took to get to his current landing spot, the POA shelter.) At 6 years old, Gus is no inexperienced court jester- he already knows lots of things that silly puppies are still learning, like how to hold it until he gets a proper potty break! Gus would appreciate being in a castle where he can be the only child (sorry, human children!) and where he can be spoiled with the good life of the noble kings. If you are looking for that once in a lifetime soul dog to have by your side through life’s battles, Gus could be the gentleman for you. Please fill out an application at poainc.org and email his adoption counselor gia.f@poainc.org with any queries.

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.
