Who We Are
We are a group of volunteers who share one common interest,
'We love Animals' !
Our dogs are rescued primarily from shelters in Connecticut, and many of our cats are rescued from the streets. Our animals have either been discarded, lost, or abandoned by their former families. They may be hungry, cold, sick, injured, pregnant, or they may have lost trust in people and are frightened. We give them fresh food and water, and place them in temporary foster homes. There they are given loving care and slowly they regain trust in humans.
Some of our dogs and cats are sick or injured, and considered "unadoptable" due to the extra care they require before they are ready for adoption. We provide them with the necessary medical care they need so that they can go on to lead a happy and normal life All our animals are health and temperament screened before being adopted out to a permanent home. Our goal for each and every animal we rescue is to help them become happy and healthy, and ultimately to help them find a permanent, loving home.
To assist the group in our rescue efforts, We maintain this ?Petfinder Internet? site. This Web site acts as a medium in which to ?advertise? our animals.
We find new animals EVERY week, and try hard to get them listed on our own website and Petfinders.com. Here you can usually see a photo of the animal, as well as a brief description. Because we have a limited number of foster homes, we rely heavily on 'networking', the ability to place an animal in a shelter somewhere else where he/she will have a better chance for adoption. All potential adopters are carefully screened by our volunteers, in order to match the animal to the family. This helps to ensure a good 'match', and reduce the possibility of unhappiness on the part of both adopter and adoptee. Please remember....
Adopting a friend
All of our animals are health and temperament screened. They are up-to-date on shots and are in good general health. Animals with special medical needs are clearly noted. All our animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
The adoption process involves an interview in which we attempt to find an animal that matches your lifestyle. While speaking with a New Leash volunteer, please ask about the personality of the animal as well as other characteristics. Important traits to consider include: temperament, size, energy level, behavior, and how the animal relates to other animals and children.
If you are interested in adopting one of our wonderful animals, please email the information on our adoption request form for DOGS, or leave a message at the New Leash On Life message center (203) 944-0171.
