A HUGE round of applause Templeton finding a new home!!!

Without a dry eye, we are thrilled to announce that our dear Templeton has been adopted!
Our longest shelter resident, having spent 16 months with us, likely due to his age and long-term medical condition. This total sweetheart was a staff and volunteer favorite, as well as our office cat and ambassador to guests.
We will miss him, and he will be fondly remembered! Have a great life, buddy!

All of these cats (and kittens) are currently available for adoption at the Wallingford Animal Control.
To commemorate June as 'Adopt a Shelter Cat' month, consider adopting one of these available cats.

He is friendly but afraid of people. For the safety of the dog we ask if you see him do not call out, clap, chase, follow him or post his location. What you can do to help: Call the number immediately with the exact location: Provide the direction of travel; and describe his behavior at the time. He ran into woods, please keep a look out if you live anywhere in this area We had a sighting at Carroll park on the day he got lost. If your home is on the edge of these woods please check your security cameras He can pop out anywhere. We are not sure if he entered woods in this area or if he moved. The family misses him very much and appreciate your help. Please share

Be on the lookout

UPDATE! Tiki is home. She found her way back to the house. Her family left the backyard gate slightly open and she came into the yard and they were able to shut the gate and lure her to them with chicken. Such a happy way to end the day. Welcome home sweet girl. Thank you to community members who kept an eye for her, Ferti, Wallingford water district, and Gabe who helped us search areas, Wallingford. Animal Control, and CTDGRV Carol who provided guidance and support to the family Such a wonderful group of people who made a difference for one little dog and family. Thank you ALL!

Missing in Wallingford. She is a very scared pup that is afraid of people. For the safety of the dog we ask that you not chase, call out, or follow her. To help, if you see her, call the numbers below with her exact location, direction of travel, and behavior at the time. Please do not post sightings we want to keep the area quiet and most likely will need to trap her. We want her to feel safe and not leave the area. She is not going to come to anyone and is very fast. Please keep a look out for her and share.
