New Fairfield/Sherman Animal Welfare Society

New Fairfield/Sherman Animal Welfare Society Where pets become family🐾💚 We are open for walk-ins from 11:30am-3:30pm 7 days a week!

Filling out an application on our website BEFORE arriving can help speed up the adoption process. Some of our animals are living in foster homes but are available for adoption. These pets will have this indicated in their description and need an appointment to be seen. Please keep in mind that NFSAW is a small shelter with limited staff so we may ask you to wait outside or in your car until a staff member or volunteer is free to introduce you to our animals.

Meet Misty, the ultimate cuddle bug! This sweet girl loves nothing more than snuggling up and taking long, cozy naps. She’s incredibly gentle and adores children, making her a great family companion. While she’s been the only cat in her current home, she has met a dog before—though she was a little unsure about it. Misty is looking for a loving home where she can get the time and care she deserves. If you’re looking for a snuggly best friend, Misty might just be your perfect match! 🐾💕

Meet Chili Pepper, our resident spicy boy! 🌶️
This longhaired rogue was found as a stray in Danbury, severely underweight and in rough shape. At first, he was all charm—until he realized he wasn’t just passing through. Now, he tolerates us (when he feels like it) and lives for mealtime.

Chili Pepper doesn’t seem thrilled with shelter life, so we’re open to an indoor/outdoor home or working/barn cat placement where he can do his own thing. He seems to enjoy the company of female cats but isn’t a fan of kids (unless you want them to cry). If you’ve got a space for a fiercely independent, food-loving fluffball, Chili Pepper might be the cat for you! 🖤🔥

🌟 Foster a Friend, Change a Life! 🐾 🌟

Meet some of the amazing animals in our care who have been with us for 30 days or more and could really use a break from the shelter. They’re ready to relax in a loving foster home where they can get the one-on-one attention they deserve. 🏡💕

Fostering is a rewarding experience that helps animals thrive while they wait for their forever homes. Not only will you be giving them a temporary safe space, but you’ll also be making a HUGE difference in their lives. 🐶🐱

Whether you’re new to fostering or have done it before, we provide all the support you need to help these animals feel loved and cared for. Plus, it’s a great way to get to know an animal before deciding if they’re the right fit for your family. ❤️

Ready to open your heart and home? Contact us today to learn more about fostering!
