Daisy comes to WASA as a CT owner surrender. #AdoptLocal
Westport Animal Control Officer Peter Reid, Lt. Joe Arnson of Westport Fire Department and a crew from Engine Company 4 teamed up to rescue this ensnared osprey this Sunday morning. So grateful for the quick response and team effort. Fly free!
Parker aka Sergeant Parker aka the King is a longtime guest of Westport Animal Control since being abandoned in Winslow Park in Westport. We have not given up on finding our 10 year old friend a forever home but until then we keep this handsome boy happy with field trips, multiple daily walks, socialization time and, oh yes, office time to hang out and enjoy Earth Animal No Hides. For additional info on our favorite friend, please visit: http://www.westportwasa.org/adopt/available-dogs/
WASA responded to an urgent plea from Naugatuck Animal Control to rescue this friend (and feel free to suggest a name) as his life was quite in peril due to the heat in the kennel coupled with his respiratory issues. In the days and weeks to come this friendly fellow will receive much needed vet care to address breathing, digestive and skin issues in addition to neutering surgery. His WASA foster mom states he is a bit of a wrecking ball when he wants attention and love.

And for the record Mayor Hess (Naugatuck), be expecting to hear from WASA because we are so eager to speak with you.
Per our WASA volunteers the conditions of your municipal shelter is deplorable. Kennels are not secure and dogs can break out with resulting injuries. WASA volunteers were also informed upon adopting our new friend to be sure and have a fecal test done (which is standard for us) as giardia runs rampant because the concrete floors are shot and porous and cannot be adequately cleaned and sanitized. We would like to commend the ACO that was at the facility today, her passion for helping animals entrusted to her care and trying to make the best of a horrible situation.
Our friend Forrest has completed his heart worm treatment (those patches are his injection sites). He did so well, and we thank his WASA foster Jaime and the staff of Schulhof Animal Hospital for taking such grand care of him. In typical Forrest fashion, he made friends with the resident cat Jinx (look at that gentle kiss). She can be a “feisty” girl but is very tolerant and accepting of Forrest’s attention. Forrest is still in need of his forever home. Please visit the following site for additional info: http://www.westportwasa.org/adopt/available-dogs/.

HOPE UPDATE! Adoption pending. If you’ve seen previous posts, you will know that Hope, abandoned in Westport, presented to Westport Animal Control being fearful of a leash, fearful of leaving her kennel, fearful of the world outside. With kindness and patience from WASA volunteers and the animal control officers, this sweet girl’s world opened up. WASA-funded vetting, good food and a clean environment resolved her skin issue. She was found to have a Grade 3 heart murmur and a cardiology consultation revealed no heart disease or enlargement. A small hole was found between her heart chambers. She is not currently in need of medication but will require a check up every two years. She is scheduled to be spayed by Dr. Palmisano at the VCA Norwalk. Her future is bright indeed.
Our friend and foster Poppy the pup had her first trip to Earth Animal yesterday and is quite pleased with her purchase. For additional info about Poppy, our 5 month old cocker spaniel mix foster, please visit: http://www.westportwasa.org/adopt/available-dogs/
Big day for Hope -Part 2. So after walking outside by herself for the first time - without being carried - Hope took her first steps outside. So brave!
Big day for Hope - Part 1. A big first for our friend Hope. She walked outside - by herself - for the first time. We let the leash drag…..Up until today she would only go outside when carried. Her skin looks better too…..So proud of this sweet girl.
Hope - with a cameo from Stanley. New friend Hope gets much-appreciated attention from WASA volunteer Sara. Her next door neighbor Stanley (http://www.westportwasa.org/adopt/available-dogs/) perches on his comfort crate to get a better look and remind us he would like some attention too.
This friend showed up on a Westport resident’s porch this morning, 6/1. Near the Sherwood Island connector. She is now at Westport Animal Control 203 341 5076.
