Cromwell Animal Control

Animal shelter in Cromwell, CT

Cromwell Animal Control is a division of the Cromwell Police Department.

We enforce all animal related laws including CT State Statutes and Town Ordinances. We handle all animal related calls from roaming dogs to wildlife calls.

Our ultimate goal is to teach “Responsible Pet Ownership” through public education. We speak at local schools, day cares, libraries and civic groups. We believe that by educating our youth at an early age we can prevent future mistreatment and abuse of animals. We focus on “Bite Prevention”.
There are an average of 4.7 Million people are bitten by dogs in the United States each year. The most common and most severe bites are to children. Educating children and the general public on the proper way to approach a dog is just as important as the proper care and treatment of a dog.

Additional adoption info

POLICIES
All roaming dogs picked up by our office are scanned and checked for tags or tattoos. Every effort is made to reunite the dog with its owner. If the dog/cat is not claimed after seven days the dog/cat is put up for adoption.

New owners are screened to make sure proper care of the animal will take place. Making sure that both the new owner and the dog are right for each other is our utmost goal.

FEES
The State of Connecticut has an adoption program up and running. The cost of adoption for non altered animals is $45.00, plus a $5.00 sale of pet fee for a total of $50.00 for each unaltered animal. The $45.00 fee includes a voucher for alteration of the animal and shots. The new owner assumes all future veterinary fees and agrees to spay or neuter the dog/cat.
Dogs that are altered by our vet prior to adoption may have an adoption fee of up to $150.

ALL ANIMALS ARE SEEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!
