Helping Outside Animals

They are losing hope.

They don’t understand why they are here.

For many of them, the only home they ever knew may not have been a place of kindness or safety. They may never have known love, or a gentle, reassuring hand.

Their days feel endless—spent waiting, watching, wondering if help will ever come.

They deserve to know what love is.

PLEASE HELP US HELP THESE FORGOTTEN SOULS. If you have a rescue contact, please reach out and tell them about these dogs who have been waiting far too long. They need patient fosters or adopters—people willing to go slow, to work with them, and to show them that not all humans are unkind and that they no longer need to be afraid.

(Except for Darla and Gibbs… they already know! They are both friendly and they are not frightened! Darla is a senior who needs a committed person, and Gibbs just doesn’t like cats and needs a strong, experienced handler! They both just need the experience of someone who understands decompression protocol).

Dogs who need rescues from top left:
Darla 24–360 (Arrived before July) 💔
Chucky 24–378 (Arrived before July)
Gibbs - 25–67 (Arrived in July)
Olive - 25-172
Prancer 25-198
Fiddler 25-199
Zeus 25–208 

Please do not call the shelter to inquire if you are not a  registered rescue organization.

If you’re a Rescue that can pull one of these dogs, please contact Waterbury CT Animal Control or message our page!

The cat is being fed and has an outdoor cat shelter, but we don’t know if he uses it.

🚨 URGENT – RESCUE & PLEDGES NEEDED
📍 Location: Waterbury, CT

‼️ A very friendly mama cat and her 2–3 kittens (approx. 10–12 weeks old) urgently need help.

❗️ Three kittens were being fed; one has been missing for a day or two.

They are currently living outdoors in freezing temperatures ❄️

🐾 Mama cat: Very friendly
🐾 Kittens: Skittish (understandably, living outside in the cold)

A kind woman has been feeding them when she can, but they have no safe shelter and remain exposed to the elements and predators outside.

🙏 Urgent help is needed.
Even sharing helps save lives.

🚨🐾💔 I NEED THE PUBLICS ASSISTANCE 💔🐾🚨

Yesterday (12/13/25 around 1:15 pm), I went to the dog park with someone I thought was my person 🚗. When the car stopped, a door opened… and I was let out. Then the car drove away without me 💔. I waited, but they didn’t come back. I didn’t understand what I did wrong.

I was scared and very confused 😔, but some kind humans and their pups saw me and stayed with me🤍. They gently helped me into the small dog area and made sure I was safe until Animal Controllers arrived 🚓🐾. Because of them, I wasn’t alone.

I’m a really good boy 🐶. I love people, I try my best, and I just want to be loved and kept safe 💞. The Animal Controller that came said I dont have a chip...not sure what that means, sounds like I am missing a lot including my family 😢.

If you recognize me or know who I belong to, please call the amazing Animal Controllers right away 📞, (860) 570-8818. They want to help figure out how I ended up being left behind.

For now, I’m okay 🤍. I’m warm, cared for, and being told I’m very sweet. I’m not ready to look for a forever home just yet, but when the time comes, everyone will know 🏡✨, so please don't bug them about my availability.

Because of kind people, I wasn’t alone — and that means everything to me. 🐶💙
