!!!Available for adoption!!!

Hello Humans!👋🏼
My name is Winston and I’m a bit confused. My original human family left me on the street and drove away. I ran and ran trying to catch up to them but became too tired to run anymore.
Then a boy human stopped his car and let me in! I was so happy to not have to run anymore.
He brought me up to what they called a “shelter” where I got my own toys, food and a bed. I met a couple really nice ladies, they give me the toys and food. They’re pretty cool.
Then one day a new human family brought me home!! They only kept me for a couple days…I remember them saying I was “too much”. Not sure what that meant! So I was back with my ladies at the shelter.
Not long after, I went to another human home. It didn’t work out again🙁

So here I am back with my girls. Although I love them, they’re so busy sometimes. I get bored and lonely, even with all the toys and treats.
My girls keep saying “don’t worry, someone will take you home for the holidays!” Not sure what a holiday is but having a home sounds wonderful! I love to play and run but really like naps too!

Well thanks for reading my story, maybe you or someone you know could take me home for that thing “holidays”!

🐾Winston is a 1 year old Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix who needs an active family.
🐾Crated trained.
🐾High energy but settles nicely.
🐾Not an ankle biter😁
🐾Loves to dance on his hind legs.
🐾Needs a home without cats or kids.

If you’re interested in Winston, give us a call at 860-945-5217!

Hello everyone!

We're working on reorganizing the kennel. Would anyone have shelves like this willing to donate? They need to be metal, as we need to be able to properly disinfect them.

If so, shoot us a message or call 860-945-5217. Thank you!

We are looking for the owner of this cat. Last seen on Hamilton Ln. Please call 860-945-5217.

Thank you, thank, THANK YOU to everyone who donated!❤️
Our community is generous and amazing. Another big thank you to the people who dropped off items at the police department! Frank and friends don’t have to worry about being bored now!

For those looking to still donate, we are always in need of Capstar and Wondercide. Those items keep the pesky fleas and ticks away!😖

Hello everyone, Frank here!
While I love the girls who take care of me at the shelter, they're not always with me and I can get bored. Emily said we have to be mindful of when I get chew treats because we are running low. I was wondering if all the people who can't adopt me, would be willing to help me out by donating some treats! That way I can have them WHENEVER I want😁 I really like lick mats and squeaky tennis balls too...but it's also fun to chew those! Emily said I should try not to chew them because we only have 1 of each left, but it's a guilty pleasure of mine. I'd gladly repay each and everyone of you with kisses🥰

We are quickly running low, or completely out of, quite a few things at animal control. Our Wishlist on Amazon is updated and we are in most need of bleach, paper towels, lick mats, canned food and chew treats.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33UI6CRFT7BDU?ref_=wl_share

As the Holidays get closer, we will be reposting our Wishlist in hopes of making all the dog's holidays the best they can be!
Thank you all for your continued support and donations!🐶🐾

Edited to add: a lot of people are asking about Thanksgiving! We've added some Thanksgiving items to the list! Thanksgiving food and toys.

We would love to give Watertown Meat Center a huge shoutout for always donating marrow bones to the dogs in our care!
We are so lucky to have such an amazing small business in our community.
All dogs got a Halloween treat last night, courtesy of the meat center.

Pictured enjoying one of the bones is Frank, a 1 year old intact male Pit mix who loves people! He is available for adoption through Watertown Animal Control.

Update 10/23 @ 2:56: owner found and dog was picked up.

Looking for some help from the community.
This black Australian Shepherd (?) mix has been roaming multiple yards in the Farmdale Rd. neighborhood for going on 2 hours.
He is elusive and we have not been successful at catching him. Wearing a red collar.

We’re hoping someone knows his owners. Please contact us at 860-945-5200.

🚨Adoption alert!🚨

It’s been so busy with a lot of found dogs and no one claiming them BUT we’re here with some happy news.

Both Sasha (Greyhound mix) and Sweet Potato (Spaniel mix) have been adopted!

Sasha now has a little boy to call her own and enjoys hiking, snoozing and sunbathing in her fenced yard with her new family!

Sweet Potato, now Blue, has a wonderful active family to match his energy! His new best friend is a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever. His family are the ones who held onto him until animal control arrived. From that moment, they feel in love and the rest is history!

Happy tails to both Sasha and Blue!🥰🐾

🐾Introducing WINSTON!🐾

Winston came to animal control at the end of September, found roaming late at night. He is quite the fun little guy!
We estimate him to be approximately 1-2 years old, possibly a Jack Russell Terrier mix and super smart (not to mention totally adorable). Winston is a high energy dog who will need an active family to exercise both his body and brain. He'd make a wonderful running or hiking partner!
When he bonds with his people, he loves to play and get plenty of affection.

We are still evaluating him with other dogs, but should know within a couple days.

Would you possibly have a spot in your home for him?🏡

Give us a call at 860-945-5217, or email [email protected] to set up a meet and greet!

Happy October!🍂

We are looking to start adding some color and fall energy to the Watertown Animal Shelter. Maybe you could help us?

Many may not know, but over the last 2-3 years there have been significant improvements to your town's municipal shelter. Just some of these include entirely redoing the kennel floors, two new AC/heating units, brand new washer and dryer (there wasn't either prior!) and a stainless steel sink and counter.

Now we'd like to work on making the outside look just as inviting as the inside!
We are looking for donations of some mums and maybe a couple pumpkins, to really set the fall scene!🍂

If you wish to donate, please give us a call at 860-945-5217, or email [email protected].

Thank you and stay safe!

Update 10/1 at 11am: owner redeemed!

Do you recognize him?
Friendly, intact male Lhasa mix. No microchip. Please call 860-945-5200 to redeem.
