West Hartford Animal Control

Animal shelter in West Hartford, CT

We are a municipal based Animal Control facility. We work directly for a Police Department as law enforcement officers. Not only do we enforce state/ local animal laws, but we are responsible for the care and adoption of the animals that are impounded. Although we are a small facility with a small staff, we usually have many animals in need of homes at one time. We strive for the best possible match for both adopters and adoptable pets. We believe that matching the adopters needs with the needs of the animal is a recipe for a long lasting relationship.
