Coyote Mating Season!!!
Please Read
Here are some tips to keep you and your pups safe!!!

• DO NOT allow pets to run free! Keep cats indoors, particularly at night, and dogs on a leash or under close supervision at all times. The installation of a kennel or coyote-proof fencing is a long-term solution for protecting pets. An invisible electric fence is not effective in protecting dogs from coyote attacks.
• NEVER feed coyotes! DO NOT place food out for any mammals.
• ALWAYS walk dogs on a leash. If approached by a coyote while walking your dog, keep the dog under control and calmly leave the area. DO NOT run or turn your back. Coyotes are territorial and many reports of bold coyotes visiting yards, howling, or threatening larger dogs can often be attributed to this territorial behavior.
• Attempt to frighten away coyotes by making loud noises (e.g., shouting, air horn) and acting aggressively (e.g., waving your arms, throwing sticks, spraying with a hose).
• Be aware of any coyote behaving abnormally or exhibiting unusually bold behavior (e.g., approaching people for food, attacking leashed pets that are with their owners, stalking children, chasing joggers or bikers, etc.) and report these incidents to authorities immediately.
• Be aware of and report any coyotes exhibiting behavior indicative of rabies, such as staggering, seizures, and extreme lethargy. Daytime activity is NOT uncommon and does NOT necessarily indicate rabies.
• Teach children to recognize coyotes and to go inside the house (do not run) or climb up on a swing or deck and yell if they are approached.
• Prevent coyotes from denning in close proximity to homes and yards with pets and children. Identify potential den sites in March when snow tracking can easily reveal natural dug burrows, rock crevices, hollow tree trunk cavities, and crawl spaces under sheds or even decks – especially on unoccupied homes or cottages. Such dens should be inspected and any occupants evicted prior to denning in April. Unoccupied dens should be filled in and or collapsed and those suspected under buildings, porches, and sheds excluded by animal proofing with sturdy hardware cloth.
• Educate your neighbors. Ask them to follow these same steps.
• The DEEP does not remove problem coyotes but may issue a permit to landowners or municipalities to employ a licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator, who is qualified in advanced trapping, to target coyotes that have attacked supervised pets or penned farm animals; are diseased; or have threatened public health and safety.

Meet Brunson 🐾🩵

Brunson is a 1 year old neutered male that was surrendered to our shelter. He is such a love with the dreamiest eyes. Brunson is a smart boy; he knows sit, down & paw. He pulls a little on leash but walks better with a harness. Brunson will benefit from training, he's treats motivated and aims to please.

Brunson may be interested in a brother or sister being that he walks past the other kennels without any issues. He has not yet been cat tested but a meet and greet is done before any adoption is finalized.

If you are interested in adopting Brunson please complete an application online or stop by our shelter located at 201 Magee Ave.

Haze 🐾🧡
The sweetest boy!
Adopt don't shop!

Back story:
Haze was found roaming in Stamford with his sister. Unfortunately his sister was hit by a car and did not make it. When Haze first arrived at our shelter, he was extremely sad and wasn't sure if he could trust anyone. After about 2 weeks he broke out of his shell and showed us his true loving self.
Haze is approximately 5 years old. He is food motivated and takes treats gently. Haze understands the basic commands such as; sit, down and paw. He is dog selective but behaves well when interacting with other female dogs. At times Haze pulls on leash during walks but takes correction well. When meeting new people Haze can be shy but with the proper introduction and treats he will reveal his true charming self.

Our sweet girl Kanga is still waiting for her forever home.
Kanga is looking for a home with a loving family as the only pet.

Back story:
Kanga originated from a hoarding situation, where her owner gave her up along with her kitten, Roo. While her baby found a new home, we are now hoping for Kanga to discover her forever family. Kanga, the petite tabby, is roughly 3 or 4 years old. Initially, she struggled to adapt to the shelter, but she is now becoming more expressive. She takes pleasure in playtime, receiving affection, and cuddling, but only if you allow her to come to you at her own pace. Kanga will do best as the only pet in the home. Grant Kanga an opportunity, and she will shower you with exceptional love💜
