Don’t wait until the last minute. More dogs go missing on July 4th versus any other day of the year. Leave them home - dogs don’t need to be out in large crowds with fireworks going off everywhere. If they’re reactive to loud noises - keep them home with positive distractions.

Keep the spark in your 4th of July celebrations, but keep them away from pets! The fireworks are beautiful, but pets are often scared by loud noises. Use these great tips from us and ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center to ensure your pets are comfortable throughout the day! Send this to other pet owners to help keep their pets safe. This infographic is presented by our lovely friends at BuzzRx.

Say hello to our beautiful new friend Nala! Nala is 7 months old, friendly, fun and straight up cute!! Nala is a fun mix of Beagle, Pitty, Lab & Shepherd. She appears to have more beagle on her than anything else.

Nala is energetic, walks fairly well on leash and knows several commands such as sit, down, paw & wait. Nala is clean in her kennel but likely will need some time to acclimate to your house training schedule.

She is dog friendly, kid friendly and can likely live in any type of home. Cats are unknown.

We have noticed she is vocal at times so those in apartments & condos should consider this before applying to adopt Nala.

To set up a meet and greet with Nala please call our office at 860-291-7572

OBIE PUPDATE!

Obie is settling into his new home and his new routine. His brother Lovebug is right by his side to help him transition! Its happy endings like this that make the long wait worth it!

06/22/2024

This is the post you all have been waiting for!

After exactly 60 days Obie is officially ADOPTED!

We took extra time ensuring this is the VERY BEST fit for Obie, and they met all criteria! We set specific requirements and criteria for many dogs that come through our doors because we can not afford to fail them. We pick up on certain things and triggers that other people may not and we try to be as transparent as possible with each potential adopter. We can not afford to place a dog or cat into a home where they may be in harms way, or potentially harm an existing animal.

We cannot thank EVERYONE enough for sharing all of Obie's posts and calling interested in him! We look forward to MANY pupdate photos with his new brother Lovebug!

🐾🐾they have been adopted together🐾🐾

🐾💕Okay guys! We had such a huge outpouring of interested adopters for Bowie. How about these two!? Brandy and Bailey were originally posted as bonded pair. We have since done some trial separating and decided that they will do perfectly fine on their own as well.
They are each estimated as 1 or younger. Likely Boston terrier mixes. Please call us at 860-291-7572 and leave a message to meet either one of these cuties!

Romeo is still available and desperately looking for a home. Romeo has been neutered, and estimated to be around a year to 2 years old. Romeo weighs about 75 pounds currently and is a very strong boy. We are looking for a home for Romeo that will dedicate time to continue his training, and provide him with a calm environment where he can be physically and mentally stimulated. We are looking for a specific placement for Romeo which includes:

-Large dog experience.
-No kids under 18 years of age.
-No cats.
-Fenced in back yard.
-Romeo is dog friendly and can be placed in a home with another dog.
-Experience with and/or the ability to work with a trainer.

Romeo is a very sweet boy who has tons of potential. He currently knows the commands sit, down, stay, and paw. He is extremely friendly with all people, and needs a strong leader. If you are interested in learning more about Romeo, please call the office at 860-645-5516.

We are not taking anymore applications and interest on Obie. We have been flooded with calls for him and are working through meet and greets.

Sheldon has not received a single call! Maybe if he had a backstory about being tied somewhere it would make people want him? The truth is Sheldon was found roaming and a good samaritan contacted us. Who knows what he endured prior to someone finding him. He is a big teddy bear, but will need someone strong because he is a beefcake. If you are interested in adopting Sheldon, please contact us at 860-648-6239.

06/19/2024

We have had another wave of interest in Obie! We are working through the calls and returning them in the order they were received. If we have not called you back please be patient!

With that being said- Sheldon who we posted yesterday has not received a phone call! We are currently at FULL CAPACITY here and the summertime is the WORST time for us to adopt dogs because of families traveling. We NEED adopters!

Please take a look at Manchester, CT Animal Control and East Hartford, CT Animal Control's adoptable animals. Some of the animals we have here have been here a long time and need a place to call home.

We are sending out a plea.

Obie is still with us. We are closing in on 60 says since we found him tied to a tree. We have had 2 meet and greets, and 1 no call, no show. With no fault on Obie, they just were not the right fit. We originally stated he must go to a female only home, but we are willing to entertain a couple that is willing to put in the work and understand that it will take time for him to adjust and feel safe and comfortable around a male. Obie is beginning to get very stressed out in the kennel and it is upsetting his stomach. We NEED to find him a home.

Prior vet records state Obie is between 2-5 years old. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. Obie is excelling in his training with The Dogs Will Rise, LLC. Obie is PHENOMENAL with other dogs, and does not mind the cats we have here either. He is said to be good with children (he lived with a child prior to being with us)

If you are interested in adopting Obie, please contact South Windsor Police Department Animal Control at 860-648-6239.

Meet Sheldon!

This hefty beefcake is estimated around 5+ years old. He is still intact and will be adopted out with an APCP if he is not neutered prior to adoption. Sheldon has met other dogs and seems to interact well. We have not tested him with cats. He is very strong, but does seem to settle well.

If you are interested in adopting Sheldon, please contact South Windsor Police Department Animal Control at 860-648-6239.

We are here and setting up! We can’t wait to see you and your 4 legged furry friends!

This video speaks the words we always say. Just because you have your idea of what you want, always remember that there is another dog that needs a home more than the puppy you saw, or the dog that has been posted all over social media. We have the moms, the seniors, the misunderstood breeds, the medical cases, and especially the dreaded pitbull a lot of people fear. Come into our shelter with an open mind and we promise you that you'll fall in love.

⭐️⭐️REUNITED⭐️⭐️
Rufus and Tommy have been found! They were tangled up by their tie outs near a building.
Thank heavens, the family went out to search on foot.
Thank you to CTDGR Karen for giving wonderful guidance to the family and letting them know it’s not a typical search. It is definitely a foot case with those long cables.
I’m sure nobody’s happier than Rufus and Tommy. Welcome home boys ❤️🐶🐾

Lost In South Windsor!
These two boys managed to break their tie out and escape the yard. They were both wearing harnesses and part of the tie out when lost. If you see them please Do Not Call Out or Chase. They are on the run. We do realize they could be hung up on something so if you hear barking where normally you do not please call owners number on flyer immediately. The family is extremely worried about them please keep an eye out for these very loved and lost pups.

TRACS can house 35 dogs in our kennels at one time. Our current impound count is just that. We know that all the other shelters are dealing with the same issue.

Because of this, we are in need of Bully Slices and large BeneBones.

If you are able to donate please send donations to 124 Sullivan Avenue, South Windsor, CT, or drop them off at the address- we have a large donation bin around the side of the building!

All of our animals appreciate you!

** ADOPTED **

We are getting a jump start on this one!

Meet Cajis!

Cajis is being surrendered to us this week due to his owner transitioning to assisted living. He is a 9 year old neutered male weighing around 15lbs. He is up to date on vaccines! He is playful, lively, likes other dogs, but IS NOT GOOD WITH CATS.

If you are interested in adopting Cajis please contact South Windsor Police Department Animal Control at 860-648-6239

We are quite surprised. Obie's story made national news, and we had everyone commenting they were interested in adopting him, but we have yet to receive a phone call since his last post. We understand his requirements may be a lot, but we are determined to give him the best life.

We are being fully transparent with Obie and his needs because we will not fail him. We have gone through the list of original interested parties, but Obie really needs a FEMALE ONLY home.

Obie is 5 years old (according to prior vet records and license records), and has been neutered and vaccinated. Obie loves being loved on, and is learning so much from his weekly training sessions. Obie deserved to be the focus of attention and we are hopeful we can find the PERFECT home.
- Obie is NOT fond of men. We have tried slow introductions but they make him VERY nervous. Because of this we are hopeful we can find a female only home for him.
- Obie needs a sensitive skin and stomach diet.
- Obie has anxiety in the kennel and will need time to decompress.
- Obie is learning leash manners, but this training will need to be continued.
- We have been told he is good with children, but we have not tested him.
- We have not dog tested or cat tested him, but he does not seem to mind the dogs in the kennel. Ideally we would love for him to go to a home as an only dog so he can be loved and doted on for the rest of his life.

If you are interested in adopting Obie please contact South Windsor Police Department Animal Control at 860-648-6239.
