!!!!! ADOPTED !!!!!
**** MOMMA MYA IS STILL LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME !!!!! ****
Mya is still hoping and wishing she could find her person / people !!!!! Mya has so much love to give and doesn't understand why she still has not found her person to share it with. Mya loves all people and other dogs . Mya has come into her own and is a great pup. Mya is well mannered (could use some leash training). Mya is respectful in a home and 100% house broken. Mya is only 20 months old , spayed and vaccinated. Mya would love a fenced yard where she could romp and play. I would suggest no kitties for this girl but we havent completly ruled that out. Mya does have a high interest in bunnies, squirls and chipmunks. PLEASE continue to share Mya and lets get her home !!!!!! If you are interested in meeting Mya contact us at Wolcott Animal Control 203-879-7620 or Wolcott Police Department at 203-879-1414 .

☀️PSA WE ARE ENTERING A HEAT WAVE! ☀️

This week it is expected to be extremely hot! Please take note that this could be very hard on your pets, and you may have to make some changes to your daily routine!

🐾 Walks should be early morning and late evening when it's a bit cooler/shaded. NO walking on the pavement during the day - you can burn their paw pads!
🐾 NO leaving them in the car while you "quickly" run an errand, we do not tolerate it, and you will face a misdemeanor if your dog shows signs of distress.
🐾 Limit the time they are outside in the yard, and be sure they have access to CLEAN, cool water at all times. You should NOT be leaving your dogs outside all day while you go to work.

Please contact Wolcott Animal Control at 203-879-7620 or Wolcott Police Department. Let's keep our pets safe !!!!!

Wolcott # 110 . We are hoping somebody knows who this little guy is ? He was found yesterday afternoon in the area of 28 Brooks Hill Rd. I'm guessing we already know the answer to our question above but maybe he just got loose. He is a intact male and was loaded with ticks. He is a domestic rabbit 🐇 and is friendly and loves to be handled and pet. He appears to be healthy. If anyone knows who he is or is interested in opening your heart and home to this sweet boy please contact us at Wolcott Animal Control at 203-879-7620 or Wolcott Police Department at 203-879-1414.

On 5/23/24, Jose Solivan, age 27, of 148 Charles St. Wtby., turned himself into the Wolcott Police Department, after being notified that we held a warrant for him for the charges of Cruelty to Animals (53-247(a)) and False Statement (53a-157b) with a $25K bond. There was also a condition of release that he is not to possess any animals. Solivan was the man who sold puppies that were to young to be removed from their mothers care. Solivan then dumped the mother, Mia, on the side of the road in Wolcott on 4/16/24, which prompted this investigation. We are happy to report that we have recovered 5 of the 7 puppies, who are all doing very well. Solivan will be presented in court today. Since the pups were sold prematurely in Waterbury, The Waterbury Police Dept. is also investigating Mr. Solivan, and an arrest based on their warrant is expected.

Wolcott #104 . So folks here we find ourselves once again !!!!! Time and time again , I just will never understand people's actions and why they continue to feel like this behavior is ok and that animals are disposable !!!!! Seems as if they always have some sort of justifiable (to themselves) reason for dumping thier dogs. Maybe they felt by leaving food dumped all over the ground , by water , in a driveway that it's OK ? Maybe they thought that it's a sports complex , where there are families and kids.... maybe you thought there were houses around but did you know they too have dogs and kids that maybe afraid or may not be good with your dog that you just left to fend for itself ... did you know the area you left your dog is coyote infested ??? Oh yeah and it's a busy road your dog could have gotten hit , injured or killed. I just don't know anymore .... but hey here we go
Tonight we recieved a call for a dog that was found on Spindle Hill Rd at the entrance of the Sports Complex on Spindle Hill Rd. We arrived to find a intact male Pit Mix with food and a black dish . He has no collar or microchip . If there is any chance even a slight that somebody , anybody knows who this boy is or where he belongs PLEASE any information contact us at Wolcott Animal Control at 203-879-7620 or Wolcott Police Department at 203-879-1414.

Does anyone know who this guy / gal is ??? This afternoon we recieved a call that this bearded dragon was trespassing on a residents lawn on Barclare Dr. We responded to the residence to be informed that just minutes before our arrival the suspect lizard took off running into a patch of woods across the street from the residence to avoid capture. Thanks to the resident showing us a photo of the suspect , Officer McCormick and I were on it . As we searched the area thanks to Officer McCormick's keen eye he noticed the suspect attempting to flee and disquise itself on the side of a tree. Officer McCormick quickly grabbed my net and was able apprehend the suspect with a minor struggle to get it to release its strong hold from the tree and take it into custody without incident. We were able to make a postive ID as this was imdeed our tresspasser and secured him / her.
We are asking if anyone could help us with any further information leading us to where he / she belongs contact us at Wolcott Animal Control at 203-879-7620 or Wolcott Police Department at 203-879-1414.

Wolcott # 90. So... Surprise .... nobody has come forward for this sweet boy !!!! We figured we would give it the weekend just to see if anyone was away but no .... no call for him. So here we go let's find him a home !!!!! This young man is about 1.5 years old. He is sweet with people , just a little shy at first. He is dog friendly , cats and small animals are unknown. He is potty trained , and well mannered on a leash. He shows no signs of food or toy aggression. He is respectful of fences and pretty quiet in the kennel except for when he sings ( and we all love a good song ) . We would love to find him his forever home where he can take in the sunshine and fresh air as he loves to be outside. He deserves even better then we could offer. If you could open your heart and home to this handsome boy PLEASE contact us at Wolcott Animal Control at 203-879-7620 or Wolcott Police Department at 203-879-1414.
