We’ve been receiving lots of great updates from our alumni, Clover’s new dad, Brian and they’re absolutely warming our hearts! Her new name is “Cookie,” and she’s fit into her new home as though she was always there! ❤️🐾❤️🐾

Monroe Animal Control has been working with the brown and white pit that was allegedly dumped in the area of Hiram Hill Road and Judd Road back on 3/4. He came to us with a significant amount of fear aggression and we were quick to realize he has vision issues as well. We’re guessing this makes it harder for him to trust everyone he meets.

To our surprise, this boy has been trusting us more and has quickly bonded with Newtown’s new head ACO, Emily Whittaker. She will be bringing our newly-named boy, “Metro” to his first appointment today! We really thank Emily for her kindness and think she is doing a great job at Newtown Animal Control Shelter! This is a true example of when teamwork makes the dream work! 🐾🐶🦴🐾

We are happy to announce that Clover has been adopted to a wonderful home on St. Patrick’s Day, with her new dad, Brian and paw-sister, Daisy! What a lucky girl! Thank you Newtown Animal Control Shelter, for all of your care and assistance provided in mutual aide to house Clover during her time with our agency. 🍀🍀🌈

Clover is wishing for her furever home! Could that be with you?? She is about 3-5 years old and already spayed!
Clover’s ideal home would be with someone who has large breed or mastiff experience, a fenced in yard and no small children. She has done well with the dogs she’s met. A meet and greet is required should the applicant have a dog at home already!
She loves toys and is very food motivated which is a huge plus for training! 🥰 she already knows how to sit!

If you’re interested in adopting Clover, please call Monroe Animal Control at 203-452-3760 or send us an email at [email protected]!

Great info! 🐻🐾

In Connecticut, black bear cubs are born in a winter den, usually in the first few weeks of January. Cubs weigh 6 to 12 ounces at birth but can grow to weigh over 100 pounds within their first year, especially if they have access to human-related foods.

Black bears that consume human-related food (i.e., birdseed, trash, pet food) on a regular basis can become habituated and food-conditioned. Food-conditioned bears pose a greater risk to public safety and often cause more property damage to houses, cars, pets, and livestock.

It won’t be long before black bear sows and their cubs will be active and in search of food. It is important to remain year-round and make sure any human attractants, especially bird feeders, are removed long before bears emerge from their dens in late March/early April.

Questions about black bears? More information is at https://portal.ct.gov/deep/wildlife/bears/frequently-asked-questions-about-black-bears
