Is anyone looking for an adorable black lab mix ? 🐶♥️ Hi ! My name is Dakota and I like other dogs and likely cats too and all of the kids and people I’ve met at the shelter! I am 6 months old and I’ve been spayed , vaccinated , heartworm negative and I’m awaiting for you to fill out the application so I can go home 🏡 Applications can be found at www.branfordanimalshelter.org

All of these critters need forever homes 🐰♥️🐹♥️ Here is Dee doing her daily fresh vegetable treats ! If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.Branfordanimalshelter.org

This little boy kitty is about a year old and sooo playful ! He likes other kitties and is just really outgoing ! After you watch the video - can you guess his name ?? His name is HAPPY 😃 🐈❤️ If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.Branfordanimalshelter.org

How did the bed explode ? 🤔 hmmmm no one seems to know 🤣🤣 Except Marlow seems to be telling on Magoo 😃! Mallard is in the back minding his own business 🐶❤️ All 3 of these dogs are up for adoption and are eagerly awaiting forever homes . Their best fit would be with other dogs , active families and patient loving kind people. They can be scared at first but warm up easily . They are between 40-50 pounds , all males neutered , vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped and are likely hound cattle dog mixes . They are about 8-9 months old . If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.branfordanimalshelter.org

Sometimes this job is really difficult especially when you love animals as much as we do. Sometimes we can’t save them or we get there too late or we find out about a situation after the fact and we can’t help. It breaks our hearts . But sometimes we catch them right on time . Sometimes they come to us with a body condition score of 1 and are hand shy . Sometimes it nearly takes an entire year of rehabilitation but we fix them and it’s always because of all of you who support us . Take a look at Chip now . Almost a year ago he was abandoned in horrendous condition . But now a year later he is snoring on a couch like a chubby couch potato with a family who adores him . All of these fairytales happen because you donate , network and support us so thank you ! Thank you for caring as much as we do , thank you for following all of these stories from beginning to end and thank you for believing in dogs like Chip that he will rehabilitate and not only survive but thrive 🐶♥️ Love you Chippy ! And thank you to his amazing family fir these awesome updates !

We wanted to share a wonderful update on Dasher .. the FIP kitty that was abandoned outside . He is doing amazing on his medications ! We want to send such a heartfelt thank you to all of you who have donated because you have literally saved his life ! Kitties like Dasher who were likely indoor kitties and then thrown outside when someone moves or gets divorced or has children or the cat starts spraying ( due to not being altered ) - these kitties don’t understand what’s happening to them . They certainly don’t understand how to live outside . Many of them get sick , hurt by predators or hit by cars . Dasher was one of the lucky ones because he was scooped up and saved ! We just want you all to know how appreciative we are for your donations , support and well wishes ! Dasher is on the road to recovery 🐈❤️

Everyone meet Leland ! In July of this year , he will actually be with us for 4 years 🥲 he is our longest resident. In the video we said two years but it has been much longer . When Leland first came in , he was very very sassy . He has calmed down quite a bit but does still get overstimulated with pets or lots of brushing . Leland is looking for a quiet forever home or long term foster so he can be in a home situation . If you are interested in adopting or fostering please fill out the application at www.Branfordanimalshelter.org

This is Tyson ! He is likely a year to a year and a half years old . Tyson was abandoned outside in Branford and then was found with an unknown bite wound . He had to stay in quarantine many months by himself . Cats or dogs with wounds of unknown origin have really only two options .. euthanize and test for rabies or quarantine the time frame which can be up to 6 months . This can all be avoided with a simple rabies vaccination. Tyson is off quarantine now and is ready for adoption!!! He is super sweet !! He has been vaccinated, neutered , is negative for feline leukemia and aids and he is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.Branfordanimalshelter.org

We hope all of you have a very merry Christmas 🎁!

Rosie also known as Cookie is absolutely full of joy and kindness. Even though she was dumped like garbage and had a terrible beginning to life, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Rosie is about nine months old and at 25 pounds, the perfect size. She is in a foster home with three old dogs and although they don't want to play with her, she would love to play with them. She is respectful of them though when they tell her to go away. She is a super gentle dog who walks very well on a leash and is easy to please. She is food motivated and takes treats gently. Rosie is learning housebreaking very quickly. She's a little shy at first but once she knows you, she will absolutely love you. She just needs someone to love her and treat her with kindness. Rosie would do great with other dogs, children and chickens! She is spayed and up to date on shots. If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.Branfordanimalshelter.org

Everyone meet Midnight !! Midnight was found roaming on the street but certainly did not act like a feral cat . She is a stunner at 1 years old ! She seems to like other cats and loves to play with toys and get loved on . If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.branfordanimalshelter.org

EVERYONE MEET MAGOO , MALLARD AND MARLOW 🐶♥️🐶♥️🐶♥️ These 3 triplet boys are looking for their forever homes ! They are shy at first meeting new people but warm up after some time . They are around 7 months old and we are guessing that they are pointer / cattle dog mixes . They are neutered , vaccinated and heartworm negative . They like other dogs and cats are likely fine too . They are scared of their own shadows so they will likely run from cats . If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.branfordanimalshelter.org
