Adopt one until there are none!


Pet of the Month

Alley is a cat chaser and probably would do best as an only dog..........she does get along with other dogs but tends to want to be the boss..... she is great with people but no small kids in the household as she tends to be a bit too active for them. This is what the sending shelter says about Alley: Intake Reason: Owner Surrender Approximate Age: 1 year old Housebroken: Almost! Good with other Dogs: Yes! Energy Level: Moderate to High Alley has had a very ADVENTUROUS life. When she first came to us, a person had found her as a stray. Soon, Alley was adopted and was very happy with her new family as a farm dog. Then, she decided she was too GOOD for the country life!! She started to chase the livestock because she thought they wanted to play with her. So now, this wonderful girl is looking for either an indoor home or one that has a fenced yard. Alley is so sweet that she almost gives us a toothache!! She LOVES to have any kind of attention and will look up at you adoringly while you rub her FLOPPY ears. One of Alley's favorite games is fetch and to PLAY tug-of-war with rope toys. She loves to be with other dogs and NEVER seems to meet anyone she can't get along with. Alley would love to have a family that is active that will give her the exercise she needs and perhaps children to pet and love her. Alley is also very smart and would respond well to learning tricks and havning a job. Please spend some time with this AMAZING DOG!! We know you won't regret it!! Adoption fee is $200.00 to residents of CT, MA and RI only please. You must complete an adoption application found on the main page plus include a current vet reference and you will be required to have a home visit before any adoptions are complete. Please no children under the age of 8 years for this dog and no apartments. You must be 21 years of age to adopt.

NEWS

This is poor Buster ~ He was hit by a car and abandoned by his owners as they didn't want to pay the bill. His owners allowed him to run free thus this poor baby got hit by a car and now he was left at the vet office because they didn't want to fix his broken leg or pay for care. His story and pictures just tugged at my heart and since no other rescue wanted to step up for him because he was a mixed breed - here we are.... Busters bills have so far topped $500.00 before we have even gotten him into foster care. So we are asking for a little help in off setting his expenses and helping him to start a new life - a happy one that he so deserves. Buster is some type of border collie mix - doesn't matter as he is a cute as button and needs to be loved. He will soon be arriving into foster care and down the road looking for a new family to call his own - one that will care and keep him safe from harm. If you can even send $5.00 that will be a big help to our rescue and allow us to keep helping the animals in our care.

Friends of Mansfield Animal Shelter Adoption Procedures:

Must fill out application form completely including a vet reference and phone number (without your vet's number it will slow down your application process). If you do not have a current vet you must provide (3) personal references of non-family members.

All potential adoptions do require a home visit by a member of our respected rescue community. There are no exceptions to this rule.

If you live on a busy street, you will be required to have conventional fencing of at least 4 ft in height. This means chain link or stockade type fencing (no invisible fence, stone walls or post and rail)

We do have policies on certain dogs with children - please read each dogs individual write up for more information. This policy is in place for the safety of both the dogs and the children.

You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt a dog from us.

YOU MUST FILL OUT THE APPLICATION BEFORE VISITING THE ANIMAL OF INTEREST. This process can take up to two weeks. We appreciate your patience. We are all volunteers with real jobs, foster dogs, fundraising activities and family lives. Please only fill out an application if you are serious about adopting. Please email us to request an application.

Who We Are

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on helping the animals at the town municipal pound in Mansfield, CT. We raise money in efforts of helping the pets at the shelter have a better life while they are waiting for a new, loving home. Our goal in the future is to see the shelter improved by rebuilding or renovation.

Adopting A Friend

We also have a very small program of rescue dogs that are privately fostered by area homes. We have an occasionally pup or two that is rescued from a kill shelter in another area or state. We have an adoption process that includes application, interview, vet reference, home visits and then finally meeting the animal. Otherwise our main focus is to get the dogs from our local pound into new homes....you can see the available dogs at the shelter: Mansfield Animal Shelter

Our foster home dogs can be visited by appointment only! Send an e-mail if you are interested.
