The Robin I. Kroogman New Haven Animal Shelter is closed today in honor of Veterans Day, thank you to all who served. Our shelter will be open again tomorrow from 12:30-4:30.

Sergeant Stubby (1916 or 1917 - April 4, 1926), was the most decorated war dog of World War I and the only dog to be promoted to sergeant through combat. America's first war dog, Stubby, served 18 months 'over there' and participated in seventeen battles on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and even once caught a German spy by the seat of his pants (holding him there until American Soldiers found him).

Sergeant Stubby was originally found by soldiers training on the grounds of Yale Field right here in New Haven... who knows, maybe some of his descendants are at our shelter today! Thanks to everyone who served and is serving, whether they have 2 or 4 legs!

This picture was taken at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

SPECK is looking for her new home! She's a 5-year-old Bulldog mix who is very sweet. She enjoys exploring our fenced in dog run and seems to get along with most other dogs. Speck is a medium energy dog who loves to get affection - I recently spent some time with her in our dog run and all she wanted to do was sit next to me and give me kisses. Please consider her if you are looking for an addition to your family!
