Simba just can’t wait to be king of your household!🦁🧡Simba is a sweet senior looking for a place to live out his golden years. He has been through alot so he will need a calm home and a patient owner. His favorite activities are basking in the sunshine, getting treats and occasionally batting around a toy. We have him on a medicated diet that he will need to stay on. For this reason we are looking for either an adopter or a foster. Can you give Simba a second chance at a furever home?🥰

Our Story

The Little Guild, founded in 1960 by Muriel Alvord Ward and Eleanora Kleinschmidt, is the only limited intake shelter in Northwest Connecticut. The current 3,000-square-foot facility accommodates 16 dogs and 25 cats comfortably at any time. ======================= First Half 2017 Animal Statistics: 1/1/2017 Animal Count: 34 Total Intakes: 149 Adoptions: 140 Transfers Out: 1 Deceased: 4 Total Outcomes: 145 6/30/2017 Animal Count: 38 First Half 2017 Live Release Rate: 141/145 = 97% ======================= The Little Guild gives every animal in our care the support they need to find a loving home. However, because we sometimes rescue animals in dire conditions, animals do pass away or are humanely euthanized in our care to end suffering.
