🩵🩵🩵 Meet MARSHALL!!! 🩵🩵🩵

🩵 Marshall was named due to his swampy rescue from the marsh right by animal control.

🩵 This poor pup had QUITE a traumatic day being rescued by both the fire department and our ACO’s

🩵 It’s taken some time to gain his trust, but he is coming along nicely.

🩵 Marshall is approximately 4 years old and 25 pounds. They are guessing he is a chihuahua/american Staffordshire terrier mix.

🩵 Marshall is house trained & good on a leash. He is fearful of things going over his head or around his neck so a harness for walking is a must.

🩵 Marshall is selective of who he likes but honestly, who can blame him after what he’s been through!

☎️ If you are interested in Marshall, you can call the office at (203) 783-3279 or stop down and meet him.

🩵 Let’s give this boy a new leash on life!

🚨🚨🚨 KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE!!! 🚨🚨🚨

The Connecticut State Director of HSUS shared the following message:
"Connecticut law prohibits tethering dogs outside during extreme weather. Dogs of all breeds are susceptible to frostbite, especially on the nose and footpads. If you see a dog being tethered outside, please have your local ACO or police take immediate action: Tell them that per Connecticut General Statutes 22-350a, dogs cannot be tethered outside during extreme weather for a duration longer than 15 minutes.

It's also too cold for cats and for rabbits in outdoor hutches. (In nature, rabbits are prolific burrowers--they burrow beneath the frostline to avoid extreme temperatures. In hutches, they have no such protection, and can die from extreme weather.) So, bring them in, too! Connecticut law, CGS 53-247(a), requires that people provide their animals with "protection from the weather."

Remember: If it's too cold for you, it's too cold for your pets!"

👏👏👏 Wise words!!! 👏👏👏

As much as we want our residents to find homes, the holidays are not the time to make a snap decision.

Please be thoughtful when choosing a new family member.

Animals are not gifts! They are lifelong commitments!

It's important to be thoughtful when bringing an animal home as they are a long commitment.
