Griffin Pond Animal Shelter

Griffin Pond Animal Shelter This is the official social media page for Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. Thank you for visiting!

First and foremost, we thank everyone who has adopted for choosing adoption as the best option! Here you will find some remarkable stories that will make you smile and help you understand why each and every one of us at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter believes in second chances. Often many of us, including staff members and regular volunteers keep in touch with some of the adopters because we all fall

in love with many different animals each day that touch our hearts for one reason or another. Bittersweet tears frequent our faces each day when we must say good bye to some of our special friends (who we bonded with while caring for them) on their special day when we get to send them off to a better life. I wish more people got to see the “before and after” pictures, or that priceless look on an animal’s face when you watch as he/she anxiously leaps into a car to finally go to their FOREVER HOME. Many people ask, "how can you handle working at a shelter?" True, most days bring each of us heartbreak but that "aha moment" is exactly why each member of the team at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter does what we do, every day.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Incredible Cigna Volunteers!

Yesterday, our amazing Cigna volunteers took on not one, but multiple huge projects—and they absolutely crushed it!

✅ Garage Cleanout: They tackled our second garage (where we store cages and crates), removing broken and damaged items to make space for new donations.
✅ Cat Adoption Room Refresh: They rolled up their sleeves to clean and organize our cat adoption room—always in need of extra hands!
✅ Pet Cemetery TLC: Some volunteers even took the time to weed-whack and tidy up our pet cemetery, ensuring it remains a peaceful and respectful space.
✅ Storage Trailer Overhaul: The biggest challenge? Clearing out and reorganizing our packed storage trailer—a massive job we couldn’t have done without them!

We truly don’t know where to begin in thanking this incredible group. Their hard work, dedication, and kindness made a tangible difference for our animals and organization.
From the bottom of our hearts—THANK YOU, Cigna team! 🙏🏻🐾

In the shelter world our necessities change with the times and the seasons. This kitten season has taken a toll on our infant supplies, primarily pellet litter and formula.

We supply these items for our fosters as they are way too expensive to expect them to cover the costs.

Considering we are only accepting the most needy of situations , we are down to our last can of formula .
Laundry detergent needs no explanation 😣it’s always a necessity. We aren’t picky about brands.

Thank you for your continued help!

She’s just a puppy, dont let Violet become a shelter statistic, shes already been with us over a month due to her surgery and healing time. Please help her find a home .

Violet is lucky to be alive . ❤️
She had a uterine infection and spaying her ultimately saved her life.

She has tested well with cats and we don’t have any issue testing her with dogs in the home !
She’s been well behaved at the shelter but she’s got puppy quirks to work through .
She will benefit from training and a family that can work with her so she can be her best self !

We recommend no small children until she gets comfortable in her new home .
Shes a beautiful girl and deserves life outside of the shelter , she shouldn’t be growing up here.

Apply to meet Violet here : https://www.cognitoforms.com/griffinpondanimalshelter1/griffinpondanimalshelteradoptionapplicationfordogs
