Welcome to the Sanctuary!

Day One
 
Violet moved into the sanctuary after being found by a super in an empty apartment when he went in to paint after the previous tenants moved out and left her behind.  Our new guests' accommodations are a two-story "bunkbed" where they settle in and meet their new friends in a safe and secure manner. 

Day Two

Being the friendly, outgoing girl that she is, Violet quickly made friends and was out of her bunkbed and enjoying the freedom of our rescue cottage. 

Day Three
"Wow, windows are so much fun!  I see a bird at the feeder!"
"Now I'm going to explore that amazing play-land jungle-gym"

 Violet is so happy to be here at the sanctuary and we are thrilled to welcome her!  She is a one year old gorgeous tabby with white and fur like velvet.  She gets along great with other animals and all people.  Loves to play and is super outgoing.  Violet is being offered for adoption at this time, and we welcome you to come meet her in person and fall in love!

Sylvester's One Year Anniversary...

Friends,
One of our favorite things is hearing how our beloved pets are doing in their adoptive homes!  Part of our adoption service includes formal follow-ups for the first year (and of course we are available to assist throughout the pets lifetime).   Sylvester has just hit his one year anniversary in his new home and we were elated to read about how he is doing:

 
Wanted to let you know that after the one year anniversary of our having adopted Sylvester, we're all very happy.  He loves sleeping on our laps and we love him so very much.  Thank you for all you do for needy creatures.

Humane Lobby Day is coming up!

I hope you will join me on Wednesday, April 24th at Humane Lobby Day that the CT Capitol.

This annual event is a great way to not only help CT's pro-animal legislation but to gain knowledge and experience in a comfortable environment to help you learn how
easy and effectively you can speak for the animals.

Our Companions in cooperation with CT Votes for Animals, the ASPCA and The Humane Society of the United States are working a number of bills including:
  • Legislating and Animal Advocates for Animal during Abuse Trials
  • Anti-Dog Tethering Legislation
  • Ban of Sale of Pets in Pet Shops
  • Ban of Gestation Crates
  • Spay/Neuter funding for low income citizens

  • But many of these issues face strong opposition from groups who gain financially from exploiting animals so your voice is desperately needed to allow humane groups to be successful.



    Click Here to sign up to attend Humane Lobby Day. I look foward to seeing you at the Capitol!

    Nothing better than a box!

    We have lots of toys, but the best one of all is a box. See our three puppies enjoying their time with their boxes--just like kids, you can buy them the most expensive toys and the box turns out to be the thing they play with the longest!
     
    We are now accepting applications on the pups, and they will be ready to go home after April 10.
     
    Come visit them at our adoption event at the Sanctuary in Ashford on Saturday April 6 from 10-1:00. Aurora, Anabelle and Aggie would love to meet you!
     
     
     
     Aurora was the first to jump up on chairs and of  course the box
     Aggie has now mastered the skill of jumping in the box
    Anabelle doesn't like to share with her sister Aggie
