F.O.B.A.S., INC.
F.O.B.A.S is a non profit, pet rescue organization that works with the Trumbull Animal Shelter to assist in the placement and needs of their pets. We also work independently rescuing pets from other Connecticut municipal shelters and out of state facilities. We are a true non profit - all volunteers donate their time. Every penny collected is used for the animals. We do not pay salaries and we don't just put out our hand for money without telling you how we will utilize the funding. We will use every penny on the animals. Every red cent for the pets and we will provide you with receipts. Think about sponsoring a shelter pet -it helps the pet get adopted when a family can be assured the pet is healthy, vaccinated, sterilized, and flea free.
F.O.B.A.S. is NOT affiliated with the Bridgeport Animal Shelter or the City of Bridgeport in any way, shape or form. None of the pets on this site are in Bridgeport.
MINDY is our featured pet since she really has been with us way too long and wishes for her own home for the spring. As a special effort by the rescue groups and volunteers working with the Trumbull shelter to find something special that Mindy had that no other shelter dog had.. with the volunteers and others donating to offset the cost , Mindy was the first shelter pet to have her DNA tested! So off she went to the vet to have her blood drawn and sent for analysis. The type of DNA analysis that was performed is called "The Wisdom Panel MX Mixed Breed Analysis". This analysis detects specific combinations of genetic markers to help identify the breed heritage of the dog tested. Well the wait is over - - THE RESULTS ARE BACK!
Mindy's two most significant and recent ancestors are Boxer and Bull Terrier, with Bull Dog and English Cocker Spaniel as distant ancestors!!! :) Not only does DNA testing of mixed breed dogs satisfy the question what type of dog is it? It can help a vet refine and develop the way the dog should be feed, trained and cared for. COME DOWN TO THE TRUMBULL SHELTER AND MEET MINDY - who in hindsight has the energy of a boxer (would make a great running partner) and the comical stand up ears of a bull terrier!

WHERE ARE THE PETS? Most of the pets listed for adoption on this site are located at the Trumbull Animal Shelter, 324 Church Hill Road, Trumbull. Shelter hours are Monday through Saturday from 10-3:30 and Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from 7-9 (phone (203) 452-5088). All adoptions of pets at the Trumbull Animal Shelter are conducted by Officer Lynn Dellabianca and at her discretion. Trumbull shelter pets are evaluated by a vet for health - they routinely receive: heartworm/lyme test, deworming, flea preventative (if necessary), vaccinations and are sterilized prior to adoption depending on the age/health of the pet. So, a pet from this shelter is not likely to hit you in your pocketbook right out of the gate. Additionally, we have a licensed trainer/behavioralist (Ralphie!!!) to assist in introducing our pets to your pets and yes, WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS WORKING WITH THE PETS EVERYDAY! The result is that the Trumbull Shelter pets are housebroken in the kennel (they get out to exercise all the time), they receive two feedings a day (to reduce/eliminate stress), they have toys, attention and tons of love! When thinking of your next pet - think of a Trumbull pet. Officer Dellabianca requires that all family members meet the pet prior to adoption and if you have a dog, you will be required to bring your dog so we can see how the dogs get along. This helps to eliminate the risk taking involved with adoption a shelter pet. Walk away from any animal shelter that just hands you a leash and doesn't have their pets medically examined. They are taking your safety and the safety of the pet for granted.
Any donation made to FOBAS is applied 100% to the animals.
FOBAS has a very active cat project that completely vetted about 200 cats last year. In addition to the catch and release policy for the pets that are not pet quality, we adopted out many more pet quality cats and kittens to homes.
