About Our Companions Blog

Our Companions Animal Rescue is a Connecticut based animal welfare organization.  We were founded in 2002 upon receiving a gift of 43 acres of land in Ashford, CT for the purpose of building New England’s first domestic animal sanctuary.
Our Companions
Our governing principle is to do the right thing for animals, regardless of the challenge or the cost. What that means is we go to extraordinary lengths to help animals in need today while  providing programs that prevent animals from becoming homeless tomorrow.

We hope the Our Companions Blog will be a place for you to learn and exchange the latest news from our Ashford Sanctuary, our various programs as well as trends and issues that are impacting the lives of animals and the people who love them. We hope you will read and observe the requirements outlined in our comment policy.

We look forward to meeting you and hearing your comments!
