East Haven Animal Shelter

✨ We recently helped our neighbor adopt her very first cat, and the whole experience was incredible. The service was outstanding, and the two ladies who assisted us were truly amazing—kind, supportive, and so dedicated. It couldn’t have gone better! 🐾💖

Animal control is required by state law to respond to calls about injured animals. I have been desperately trying to save an injured stray tabby in my neighborhood for a week. When I called when the cat first became injured, I received a text offering to lend me a trap so I could either keep the cat or did I have a rescue lined up? Sorry, we don't have room. They sent me a list of nonprofit organizations to contact instead for help. They did not come, and they did not offer further help. I am completely on my own, and so are these animals.

Kittens are very cute! They don’t have website update because the manager, as a gov officer, is always busy on phone call. But undoubtedly, cats love there!

Incredible people- Monica n Emily were like “angels” re: their devotion to the animals!! Plus … when they told me that the pets listened to classical music at night n NPR during the day … it was like fate that immediately felt it was fated to adopt (sight unseen) my puppy- I drove over an hour to pick up Pierre just over a week ago- n he’s been the perfect soulmate already… has slept in my bed from day one!! I attribute slot of his personality to Monica n Emily- best shelter ever!!

Got our first family dog here. The staff was very helpful and communicative. Our new dog has been wonderful. Seems like he was well taken care of a this shelter.
