Welcome to the home of the Waterbury Municipal Dog Pound

We are the Municipal Dog Pound for the Waterbury Police Department in the City of Waterbury, Ct. Did you know that the Waterbury Dog Pound takes in between 50 to 60 dogs a month (sometimes more)? The greater portion of those numbers are strays or sick/injured dogs. We have 40 kennels here at the Pound to provide a temporary, safe shelter for these dogs but, unfortunately, their time is limited here at the shelter.

We are committed to placing our adoptable dogs in good homes but we cant do it alone. We are always in urgent need of your assistance in finding our dogs, and the occassional cat, loving and responsible owners.

 

 Chipper (Impound #435) is currently available for adoption!

Did you know that over 5,000,000 healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in the U.S. every year due to the lack of a good home? Before you consider purchasing your next dog, consider the facts, and then consider adopting a homeless shelter dog that NEEDS you!

Please check our website often for pictures and information on our adoptable dogs. Our dogs are also posted on Petfinder.com (use zip code 06708) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/waterburyanimalshelter).

 

Pet of the Week

 Meet Mandy!

Another of our gorgeous little girls! Mandy has an awesome personality and great temperament. She seems to get along well with everyone she has met as well as other dogs too! Mandy found her way to us as a stray and we suspect she was used for breeding at a young age. Mandy is happy and playful despite all this and just wants a little love and affection (she's not shy about returning the favor either). Mandy is approximately 18 months to 2 years old and would make a great family dog.

If you would like to meet Mandy please stop in and do so (preferred) or give us a call at 203-574-6909. She is more than willing to roll around with you in the playpen area, fetch a few balls and lavish you with tons of kisses to help sway your decision. Mandy promises not to disapoint and is eagarly waiting to find her forever home!  Mandy is available NOW!

Please keep in mind that most of our dogs are found as roaming strays in the City therefore we have no history (medical or behavioral) on them and can only attest to their behavior and/or visible medical condition while in our custody. Thanks for opting to rescue a pound dog that needs you!
