Stamford Animal Shelter Alliance

One of the many hats Animal Control Manager Tilford Cobb wears is champion of community outreach. Earlier this week he addressed over 140 students at Westhill High School’s AG Science program. Some of the many topics he covered were:

*The responsibilities of being an Animal Control Officer and what the shelter does such as aiding the public and the Stamford Police Department with roaming dogs

*Enforcing leash laws and licensing

*ensuring pets are up to date with vaccinations and educating the public on the importance of vaccinations

*capturing and providing medical assistance to injured wildlife (with the help of local rescue organizations)

*Assisting with feral cat complaints and ensuring they are being neutered/spayed as well as capturing injured cats and providing medical assistance.

*Informing the City of safety and awareness of mating seasons of animals such as coyotes.

*Investigating calls concerning possible animal neglect and possible hoarding of animals

*and of course, promoting awareness of animals at the shelter and how to adopt them.

Just think…very VERY soon we will have a beautiful community room at the new shelter where conversations like these can happen more often for the people of Stamford!

Frigid cold temps and a biting wind didn't stop a large group of general contractors from attending today's mandatory walk-through for all interested in bidding on the construction of the new shelter! People were parked up and down Magee Avenue! The site has been cleared and you can really get a sense of how the new building will look at the back of the Magee Avenue property, overlooking the canal. Important day!!

This is Molly & Odis. Last week they were dumped on Rippowam Road in horrible condition.

Molly, is super sweet. Her nails were growing into her pads and paws and she had a large growth on her front leg that had to be amputated. Her results came back this week and it was cancerous and has metastasized. The amazing staff at Stamford Animal Control & Care Center are keeping her calm and giving her lots of love.

Odis was extremely matted and had to be shaved down. He’s being treated for and eye, ear and skin infection and is very scared and sleeps curled up most of the day.

Their combined vet bills total approximately $5,000. We realize times are extraordinarily difficult for shelters/rescues right now. We are fundraising to cover the cost of Odis & Molly’s care at the link below - you can also share this post with friends and family on your social media channels.

Thank you in advance on behalf of Stamford Animal Control and Care Center, the dedicated animal control officers and staff that go above and beyond for the homeless animals in our community.

******ADOPTED 🎉🎉🎉🎉

📍SHELTON, CT - LAST CALL - the kid who’s been staying in his vehicle with her while we courtesy post has let us know LAST CALL and he’s devastated. But his situation is no longer allowing him to remain in the vehicle with her. He has stayed at motels with her as well. That’s no longer an option (nor is that a sustainable solution). So this is LAST CALL ☎️ for Tasha. ***COURTESY POST*** for the owner

There is NO FEE TO ADOPT - permanent home only. There is no option to foster. The owner must find a permanent home/adopter.

Tasha is about 2 years old and
she’s SPAYED with SHOTS
She’s perfectly housebroken/no accidents
She’s crate trained and does not pull on leash
NO OTHER DOGS LIVING IN THE HOME
CATS UNKNOWN
OLDER KIDS OK - lack of experience around kids

Tasha is a fantastic, dream 💭 dog. Her only flaw is her inability to share her space with other dogs and needs to be the only pet in the home. She’s never been around cats.

Tasha Comes with 4 months of food paid for, huge supply of treats, supplies, doggy bed, leash, collar from the owner who’s trying to do the right thing and save her life.

One year of pet insurance paid for by the current care giver if you need it.

Apply using the link in the comments. This is a courtesy post only. Tasha is not with a rescue and your application will verified and then sent to the owner to contact you.

International Cat Day is a full 24 hours of recognition and veneration for one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved pets–the cat! If they would lower themselves to have a conversation with a mere human, any cat would probably say that every day should be a day for celebrating cats all over the world. But this is one particular day that the humans have set aside each year for that purpose.
🐱
It’s time for International Cat Day!

Be sure to check out Stamford Animal Control & Care Center to find your puuurrrrfect match!

What a fun day we had at this year’s Bark in the Park! A special thank you to Conair for donating so many wonderful pet grooming supplies! People were so excited to hear that the new shelter is in the final steps of the construction drawing design phase. We are hoping the city can put the project out to bid this fall with construction starting early 2025!

Thanks to all our furry friends and their companion humans for stopping by! 🐾🐕🦮🐩🦴🐾
