The Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter has been helping homeless pets across the shoreline and beyond for six years. Hundreds of animals come through our doors each year and it takes a lot of time, rehabilitation and vet care to place them into new homes.

We are so much more than a traditional shelter! We offer many programs and services to educate, inform and inspire people to take responsible care of their pets and to treat them with the kindness they deserve. With the support from people from all over Connecticut and beyond, we are helping to create a better community for all.

Some of the programs we currently provide are:

• Low or No cost spay/neuter certificates
  
• Humane Education through schools, seminars and special needs groups
  
• Rehabilitation to the most abused, neglected
  and sickly animals
  
• Adoption counseling and basic training for
  new adopters
  
• Lost and Found community Internet Board
  
• Rabies and Microchipping Clinics
  
• Pet Food Pantry for going through
  hardships
  
• Education through orientation provided on a
  weekly basis with Volunteer Coordinators
  
• Outreach Programs with Off Site Adoption
  and Animal Care Fairs

Our mission is to provide excellent animal care, find good homes
for our animal guests, to promote responsible pet guardianship, to
work to end the overpopulation of feral cats in our community, and
to run a well organized, efficient shelter with a rehabilitation
through education philosophy.
