Meet Brody!

Brody (or “Bro”), is about 5 years old and has had a bit of a rough go at life recently. Brody was surrendered to us a while ago. We have been working with him everyday trying our best to get him ready for his new home.

Like most bulldogs, Brody will need special attention to his skin, snout, and eyes.

Brody will be available for adoption within the next week! Although Brody seems to be okay with children, he will ONLY be adopted out to adult only families. Brody gets startled easily and likes to find confined areas to “hide” in.

Brody needs a family that will give him the time and and attention that he requires, while understanding that this commitment/project will NOT happen overnight.

Applications for adoptions are available at the front desk at the Ridgefield Police Department. He has a Veterinary appointment this week for his final checkup.

As always, for any questions or concerns call Ridgefield Animal Control

Whether or not you’re planning your own Independence Day celebration, it’s important to take precautions to keep your pets and livestock safe during Fourth of July festivities.

Advanced preparations, including identification tags, updating microchip information, and ensuring the environment is safe and secure will help keep your pet or livestock safe. Some animals may need medication to ease their anxiety – don’t wait until the last minute to contact your veterinarian.

Please DO NOT bring your pets with you to fireworks displays!

As much as your furry friend loves car rides. Please leave them home where it’s cool and safe. It only takes 6 MINUTES for your pet to be in serious danger when left in a car during these hot temperatures.
If you see a pet in a parked car, please call us immediately at 203-431-2711. Thank you.

Even if you’re just "running in for a quick errand", it's best to leave your dog home where they are safe and cool.

Leaving your dog in a hot car can be fatal for your pup in just minutes! Leaving the windows down, or parking in the shade is not enough.

Any questions, call Ridgefield Animal Control at 203-431-2711. Thank you.
