It is the responsibility of Monroe Animal Control Unit to investigate roaming dogs, animal bites, cruelty to animals, barking nuisance, unreasonable tethering or confining of a dog, valid rabies vaccination, dog licensure and rabies-related wildlife complaints that present an eminent danger to the public. When permissible, we assist with as many injured/distressed wildlife requests for as we can and take reports of rare wildlife sightings. We work closely with the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, our local municipal health department, Connecticut DEEP and local veterinarians to ensure the safety and well-being of the public and its animals. Monroe's Animal Control Officers (ACOs) also perform over-the-phone recommendations for animal-related issues and recover deceased animals from roadways and residences for disposal pickup. In addition to their routine response to these above mentioned investigative welfare complaints, animal service calls and rabies exposure cases, ACOs and facility staff are responsible for daily kennel-cleaning, facility care, maintenance, and keeping of public animal control records at the town's dog pound facility located at 447 Purdy Hill Road, Monroe, CT. It is through this facility, in which the agency facilitates the adoption of dogs and cats in their care. Monroe Animal Control is typically staffed by one full-time head ACO, a part-time administrative Assistant ACO, and two per-diem Assistant ACOs. All individual ACOs and assistant ACOs obtain and maintain our professional certifications as State of Connecticut Municipal Animal Control Officers which includes eighty or more hours of instruction and a yearly quota of continuing education credits.

**AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION**
TANK IS A GOOD BOY! He is loved by everyone here at Monroe Animal Control! This 80-pound, 2-3 year-old Pit/Lab mix loves playing with tennis balls and is easily food-motivated. He knows how to sit, stay, give paw, lie down and he goes into his cage on command. He is also extremely gentle in taking treats from us. He came from a home with other dogs and has not shown any food or toy aggression. His only fault in life we can think of is he will jump-up on you in an effort to lick you to death! We’re still working on this! His adoption includes a State of Connecticut APCP Voucher which includes sterilization upon completion of paperwork by his new family. Please contact Monroe Animal Control at 203-452-3760 if you are interested in giving Tank a good home or email us to request an application at [email protected].

** After being examined by a veterinarian, we are so very sorry to report this. It was found that this little one had multiple issues that were contributing to major discomfort at an old age. While surrounded by people who loved her, she was humanely put to rest.**

Please… Please… If you ever need resources in caring for a pet, reach out to us at Monroe, CT Animal Control. This dog was found on Old Fawn Hill Road here in Monroe. She is very elderly, has bad vision and has difficulty walking. We’ve scanned her for a microchip, but nothing was found. If this is your dog or a pet you know, please contact us at 203-452-3760. This dog has an appointment with our veterinarian at 12:30pm today.

Thank you Presents For Paws, for your generous donation!!

After a very monumental week for our facility, we would like to announce that MONROE ANIMAL CONTROL IS OFFICIALLY FULL ON DONATIONS. We thank everyone who visited our remodelled building and those who gifted us with useful items in preparation for new impounds!

**We would graciously like to refer anyone else looking to make itemized shelter donations, towels, food, etc., to other nearby municipal animal control facilities who need these items just as much as the next! Taking in more donations would simply be selfish of us and impossible.**

Share the love with other surrounding towns! 🐾❤️

Today we visited a new shelter! We delivered over 200lbs of cat litter, over 150 cans of cat food, 3lbs of cat treats, a bag of cat toys, and 10 kong chew toys to Monroe, CT Animal Control ! They just finished remodeling their facility and it looks amazing!

We'd like to thank KONG for their generous donation of chew toys!

We'd also like to thank our supporters before your donations. Deliveries like these aren't possible without YOU!
