Weekly Wag - September 25
Zelda is a happy 3-year-old shepherd mix with lots of energy who was returned to HSBC recently due to her owner’s financial trouble and because she has a tendency to nip at young kids, warning them when she is uncomfortable. She loves being outside on a walk and doesn't pull at all! She’s not a barker and she knows sit, shake and stay – except for the nipping (training opportunity!), Zelda is a really well-behaved lady. Zelda is a good size dog – about 80 lbs – who would do best in an active household, with or without older kids, with humans who have the time and patience to provide the exercise and stimulation Zelda desires! She will make the best couch companion and the softest cuddle bug for the right person. Through the end of September, Zelda’s adoption fee is 50% off! You can adopt beautiful Zelda for only $162! Interested in being a short-term foster for Zelda while she waits for her forever home? Apply onlinehttps://hsburnettcty.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dog-Foster-app-.pdf
Princess is a beautiful domestic longhair tortoiseshell cat. She is a shy senior who is still adjusting to her new normal after her owner of 9 years passed away. She seems to be ok with the other cats in the adoption room and once she is comfortable with her new humans and new home, she'll be a great snuggle buddy! Although we do not advocate declawing cats, Princess is already declawed. And bonus – Princess is sponsored so her adoption fee is ZERO! Are you ready to give Princess a second chance? Stop by the shelter during public hours, Tuesday-Friday noon-5pm or Saturday 11am-3pm to meet Princess and spend some quiet time with her.

This Saturday, Zelda will be walking in the Jordan Buck Day Parade in Danbury along with Rusty and Georgia! Great opportunity to see how well our shelter dogs behave outside of their kennels in the “real” world! Besides the parade, there will be lots going on in Danbury that day – stop by for some small town, fall fun!
