Call Directions Contact the organization

This is the official page for the City of New London's Animal Control Department. We are a municipal Animal Control facility.

This page is maintained by an employee of the Department, and shall adhere to the City's Social Media policy. We have 2 full-time officers, and cover emergency after-hour calls. Please remember that our officers are not at the shelter for their entire shift. We highly recommend calling the office and setting up an appointment to view our adoptable animals. This helps make sure an Officer will be available. We handle over 1,500 calls a year, ranging from roaming dogs to cruelty investigations, from rabies exposure cases to injured animals. Our days are highly unpredictable, and no two days are ever the same. Please be patient with our officers if you are waiting for a call back.

Meet Arty!

Arty is a rambunctious dude looking for a home to teach him how to dog, because we don't think his previous owners ever did.

Don't forget to drop off new socks at the shelter if you are in the area! We have about 10 days left to gather socks and our bin is looking a little empty. You can feel free to drop them off any time, even if no one is here. We can probably figure out the socks aren't actually for the pets.

Nick has been here nearly FIVE months waiting for a new home. Sweet, energetic, and happy, he just wants to play (and be in the water). Please share Nick until his new family is found.

Nick also went to an adoption event and had no interest. Please share Nick until we can find his forever family! He's a goofy boy who loves the water.

Geno has been patiently waiting for a new family to find him for almost SEVEN MONTHS. He is a friendly, high-energy boy who just wants to play. Please share Geno until his new family is found!

Sadly, Geno went to an adoption event this weekend and didn't have any interest. He's been here for FIVE MONTHS. Please share him until his new family can be found. He's a great dog, just a big goofy ball of energy!
