We are a volunteer 501(c)(3) organization who work w/ the Robin I Kroogman New Haven Animal Shelter. We are not animal control for the City of New Haven, CT.

For animal control complaints, please call the shelter at 203-946-8110. Our volunteers work directly with the shelter staff to provide the animals at the Robin I. Kroogman New Haven shelter with the best, most compassionate service possible. We are a 501(c)(3) organization. As part of our efforts, we do the following:

• Organize and sponsor monthly adoption events in communities throughout the Greater New Haven area. We work directly with North Shore Animal League’s state-of-the-art mobile adoption unit and have established partnerships with a wide range of caring businesses that host these events.

• Pay for unusual medical care that the animals would not ordinarily receive, including x-rays and tests for diseases like heart worm and feline leukemia.

• Participate with TEAM, a mobile spay/neuter facility for cats.

• Sponsor a foster care program for animals who need special attention.

• Offer personal assistance in choosing a companion animal to people who want to adopt from the shelter.

• Work with other rescue groups to place animals in good homes.

• Appear weekly on WTNH-TV News 8’s popular “Pet of the week” segment.

• Maintain two Web sites, one at www.findafriendforlife.org and the other on Petfinder.com, which generates many quality adoptions. (Visit us at www.petfinder.org/shelters/CT74.html)

• Publish Among Friends, a twice -yearly newsletter.

• Educate owners about pet care.

• Sponsor fund-raising events

Our volunteers work in many areas. Some deal directly with the animals-grooming, walking , and playing with the animals to keep them socialized. Others prefer to work on our fund-raising and public awareness programs. The shelter's adoption fee is $90 cash and includes a spay/neuter. There is an additional fee at the vet for pain medication, antibiotics and Lyme disease and Heartworm test.
