They don't care about animals as much as they care about being preachy and emotional.

Thank you for the quick response on picking up a lost dog from Hamden today! Such a nice ACO.

It was Hamden Animal Control who saved this cat from a roof. He's coming home (newly) today!

We adopted 2 kittens from the Animal control. They were well taken care of, and the officer Cystal was very helpful and a pleasure to talk to. We now have two happy, healthy kittens. Thank you.

Don’t waste your time making calls about injured wildlife because they could care less ??

On my birthday on June 26, 2002 I adopted the sweetest black and white baby kitten. I got lucky cuz there were more black and white kittens there than I’d ever expected to see. The very super duper nice man working gathered all the black and white kittens together and we mentioned I was looking for a baby girl kitten, he said I believe that your animal should pick you and I went back and fell in love with all of them instantly. But the man working (I believe his name was Thad) was 100% right the animal should pick me and I should feel that connection to know that animal was for me. One of the kitties walked right over to me and meowed so I picked it up and snuggled it and then I played with it for a little while and I knew I was totally in love and that this cat was in love with me too... and guess what- it was a boy! We named him Kesey after the writer Ken Kesey- you would know him as the author of “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest” among many other books, or maybe you know him as the leader of the Merry Pranksters and creator of the Furthur Bus. He was a genius and a Royal member of the original Counter Culture, Len had recently passed away at that time and in his honor I named my new kitten after him. Kesey lived a very long and very happy life, he embodied the peace and love and craziness in the best way possible of his namesake. He was amazing and lived a very long, very happy and so very loved life. Now it’s 19 years later and I’m calling every couple weeks to see if they can help me find my newest fur-baby... a Pittie Pup that needs a very loving fur-ever home. And since the pandemic I’ve started working on my own business from home and my husband and mom both with from home now as well so this new pup will never be alone, always showered with love and caring and taught to be a puddle of love and kisses, and like our first Pitbull, who we lost at the beginning of the pandemic, we want her sister to be a wonderful ambassador for her breed and we will train her to be so. I cannot wait for the puppy that’s meant to be❣️Thank you for my kitty and thanks for all you do to care for these animals and thanks in advance for finding our newest fur-baby

I adopted a terrier from here. Mutch, chris, and dave were great. The animals are being taken very good care of. I filled out the application and then a couple days later Mitch called. When I picked up our dog, he had a folder with important paperwork about our dog. Which was very helpful. I felt I got a dog from an expensive pet shop. I wouldn't hesitate to adopt another pet.

I stopped by and spoke with an animal control officer named Dave who was incredibly passionate and truly cared for the animals at the shelter. I had a long conversation with him and am planning on adopting a cat from this shelter. I'm very shocked by some of the negative comments since I had quite a different experience. I didnt speak with a women. It's a small hidden shelter but I do believe they take good care of the animals and do their best to get them adopted. The often post on their Facebook page about animals they have and pet tips and reminders. Would highly reccomend!

I recently tried to adopt a dog from here. The woman I spoke to on the phone seemed to indicate as long as I met their criteria, I could take the dog home with me. When I showed up the following day, a man was working who told me he had "decided" to take applications in order to find the "best" owner for the dog. I've never heard of that practice at a shelter.I wondered if he was looking for a bribe or maybe already had someone in mind for the dog. There was definitely something very shady about that man and his "decisions." In his world, the dog was better off being held longer in a shelter than being re-homed with a qualified owner. What a jerk.

I have never been more offended then after speaking w/ “officer” Carney. Maybe he should lessen his own ego and remember his job is keeping animals safe instead of pretending to be a real police officer!!!!!!!!! This man will cause the death of many animals if he keeps behaving like he does no one will report anything for the fear of his absolute baseless accusations & threats. I think is behavior is borderline criminal..... maybe you should keep better tabs on the people that are supposed to protect animals........

I called the shelter regarding an injured bird that i found on the street in New Haven asking for advice what to do with him. It was Sunday morning and most other shelters were closed. The person who answered the phone was incredibly rude and did not seem to care at all, not the type of behavior i would expect from somebody working with animals. I was told it is not their area and to call Shelter in New Haven. When I tried to explain that it is still closed I heard from her that there is nothing they can do and to call police, then she hang up on me!!! If this is what kind of people work there I am scared to think how they treat animals there. if I could give zero stars I would!!!!
