Our Mission

Hamden Animal Control is charged with serving the public in regards to a variety of domestic and wild animal related issues. Our Animal Control Officers are also responsible for the care of abandoned, neglected, and stray animals that have found their way into our custody.

As such, we are committed to finding suitable homes for our animals that are available for adoption.

Adoption Policy

Please contact us by phone or e-mail to set up an appointment to meet our animals.
Our adoptions are not "first come, first served" as our goal is to place our animals in the most suitable home.

-An application must be filled out IN IT'S ENTIRETY, which would then need to be approved by our Animal Control Officers.

-Proof of home ownership is required with the application. (i.e., mortgage statement, deed)

-If you rent, we will be asking to speak with your landlord or housing association to confirm that you are able to have an animal at your residence. Please have their contact info available at the time you are filling out the application.

-All members of the household would be required to meet the animal to ensure compatibilty.

-If you currently have a dog(s) we would need to schedule a dog intro to see how they get along.

-A veterinary reference check is conducted for applicants with current or past pets. Please contact your veterinary office to give permission for us to speak with them.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DENY ANY APPLICANT IF DEEMED NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS.
