With lots of time , lots of patience and lots of love , we rehabilitate so many animals . Cosmo was being given away on one of the sites for free … unneutered , unvaccinated and not tested . He appeared very social at first but after he got to the shelter he became extremely fearful and acted aggressive. Each animal is an individual and comes with their own traumas from being abandoned, not having consistency in their life and of course being surrounded by strangers at the animal shelter . And e

When we were designing our new facility , many details were taken into consideration that the general public might not normally think about . In shelters like ours , a cat with a wound of unknown origin may come in and have to be quarantined for up to 6 months . They would of course receive any medical treatment they needed as well . We would evaluate their behaviors to determine if they were infected with diseases or viruses like rabies . In our old building , the cages were literally 2x2 in si

Shelter life can be very stressful for animals . As many positive changes as we have made to the new building , we still can’t make it a forever home for the animals . We really put a lot of thought into calming features and enrichment items . Some of those upgrades included silent open and closing kennels and cat condos , decompression rooms for animals struggling with transitioning to shelter life , televisions with birds , squirrels etc for long term cats , calming zen music throughout the bu

We are asking everyone that sees this to SHARE THIS !! It is all of our responsibility to be good humans and that includes cutting the plastic six pack rings . We’ve seen on social media naysayers saying OMG I’ve NEVER seen any wildlife in real life have one stuck on them … it actually happens all of the time but usually we are too late and they are deceased . But this lucky goose has had an entire team trying to help her for weeks . Animal Control has been out there over and over again …and why

We wanted to post this - not to make people sad but to show you the reality of what shelter workers deal with and take home with them at night . Sometimes people will comment on our posts how do you know that dog is abandoned? After many many years of doing this job we see behaviors which are indicative of abandonment....does it hold true for all of them ? No but we see quite a few behave this way . Justice screams and cries when you leave . He is so afraid of being alone and of being left . He

One of the hardest and most rewarding things we experience, is when an animal that is at the shelter ( and you know they were mistreated before they got to you ) , finally feels safe and accepted . It takes so much time , patience , understanding and love but once they trust you and they snuggle their little body into you … it’s like magic . Many times this is the most love they’ve ever felt . And people will ask … well how do you know they were mistreated ? There’s many signs …. But in this cas

‼️PLEASE SHARE ‼️This is a longer video but worth the watch . Shelters are seeing the worst of the worst lately . Naples came to us June 6 of this year . He was abandoned and had old burn wounds and appeared to have vision issues . After we had some testing done , his vision issues are likely from trauma . This poor guy has been through the wringer . But over weeks and months of working with him , we’ve finally see who he is and what a sweet guy he is . Naples goes on adventures with the staff a

Sometimes this job is really difficult especially when you love animals as much as we do. Sometimes we can’t save them or we get there too late or we find out about a situation after the fact and we can’t help. It breaks our hearts . But sometimes we catch them right on time . Sometimes they come to us with a body condition score of 1 and are hand shy . Sometimes it nearly takes an entire year of rehabilitation but we fix them and it’s always because of all of you who support us . Take a look at

We want to give a great big shout out to Mike from Eversource CT for coming out to help us today with a seagull stuck in wires call . Mike was so kind with this bird and spoke so softly to him as he freed his leg . This poor bird had his leg completely entangled in the wires and had been hanging upside down and could not free himself . As you can imagine , drivers passing by that saw the poor bird struggling were completely distraught . However When live wires are involved both Animal Control an

Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter's 'Run to Remember' 5K Set For Sunday At Hammonasset

This is a rather long video of a long journey with a happy life at the end of it. Back in June, Naples was found with old burn wounds and he appeared visually impaired. When he came to the shelter , he was scared to death and avoided us at all costs . ( can you imagine not being able to really see and now being in a place with everyone who’s unfamiliar)?😭 But over time and with lots of work by the animal shelter team , they built trust with Naples . From all of the hours that Jill , Luci , Lisa

Here we are safely trying to shimmy our way out to this little pup, without scaring him. We have affectionately named him forest both because he ran as fast as he could to escape us and because he had been hiding out in the forest for quite some time.

This beautiful Northen Flicker had slammed into a window early this morning . We saw it happen while we were out walking the dogs . Other birds were going after him because he was upside down on the ground . We get many calls like this all year long so this is a PSA to alert people of what they can do if they cannot immediately find a rehabilitator. We unfortunately did not have a towel or anything to scoop the woodpecker up with so I put him in my coat so it would be dark and safe until we got

This is Tyson ! He is likely a year to a year and a half years old . Tyson was abandoned outside in Branford and then was found with an unknown bite wound . He had to stay in quarantine many months by himself . Cats or dogs with wounds of unknown origin have really only two options .. euthanize and test for rabies or quarantine the time frame which can be up to 6 months . This can all be avoided with a simple rabies vaccination. Tyson is off quarantine now and is ready for adoption!!! He is supe

This is what it looks like when we are trying to gain the trust of an abandoned and possibly abused dog. This dog has what appears to be burn marks on his back . We do not know his history so it’s a blank slate as of now but based upon his behaviors and some other obvious physical traumas , we can only imagine what he has been through . Many times abandoned and abused dogs come to us growling , whale eyeing and tense . They obviously do not want to be touched and sometimes may lung at the kennel

When people talk to us about how different our animal shelter is - we always say it’s the people who work and volunteer there that make it so unique . Sadie who is the adorable pup in this video has been becoming depressed . She is overlooked time and time again . Is it because she’s a bully breed ? maybe…. Is it because she’s no longer a puppy ? maybe …. Is it because she jumps around like a crazy woman in her kennel when people visit ? Maybe…. But most people don’t understand that the initial

We don’t like to normally take videos or pictures of dogs in their kennels because it doesn’t show you their true personalities BUT we nearly cry when we take Rosie out now. Rosie used to sit in the far back of her kennel and shake and ever so lightly lift her lip when you would go near her - that was before we realized she was deaf . Now that we understand how to communicate with her - this is her reaction when she sees us 😭🐶❤️🥰 | Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter
