Spread the Word

Spread the word….. Brian will be at Petco in Windsor this Saturday with 3 dogs that are up for adoption. He has some great dogs that need homes.

Meet Mazey

She had a home and was well cared for. Unfortunately, due to the economy, she was surrendered to Windsor Animal Control.
Mazey is a 1 to 2-year-old beige/white pitbull mix, with a fabulous personality!  She will jump through hoops (figuratively) to make you happy.  All she needs is a chance at a great home, preferably with no small children, and (ideally)  a yard to run around in.
Her adoption fee is $50 which includes a low cost spay/neuter voucher.  The voucher will offer spaying, distemper and rabies vaccinations.  Microchipping is $15.
If you'd like to meet Mazey, please call Windsor Animal Control at 860-688-5273, ext. 556.

501(c)3

501-c3 has officially been filed and will be operational hopefully within 4 weeks. Thanks for everyone’s help, we have just begun.

Inappropriate comments at a board meeting

This is the footage from the budget meeting on April 11 and about 41 minutes into the meeting deputy mayor Alan Simon began commenting on the budget for the animal control officer and that is when he referred to an animal control officer as  “a dog catcher”. Then he continued that with the budget allotted for the AOC we could “pay for a dog catcher and a teacher”. I think his comments were unprofessional, insulting and undermining to great OCA’s everywhere and an apology is in order.

Meet Lady:
Lady was picked up as a stray after eluding capture for 4 days. She finally surrendered to the staff at Windsor Animal Clinic who had been placing food out on the steps to attract her. Lady is a senior dog (approx 8-10 yrs) lab/pit mix and would probably do best in a quiet home. She has a very sweet and gentle disposition with lots of affection to give her new owners. She enjoys naps on her blanket and peanut butter and is in urgent need of a retirement home with lots of love.

Friends of Windsor Animal Care & Control

Hello everyone, welcome to our blog. The friends of the Windsor dog pound are now “Friends of Windsor Animal Care & Control”. Members of the town council didn’t want to use the term “shelter” but we wanted to be more than a typical municipality pound. We are going to use this blog for up-dates and progress reports about the pound, adoption information, scheduled events pertaining to Windsor and more. Please feel free to pass along information that you would like shared.

Introduction

Hello everyone, the friends of the Windsor dog pound is a group of volunteers that believe that Windsor’s dog pound, animal control officer and patrol officers need to stay in Windsor. With the development of Mechanic Street including the construction of the Amtrak commuter rail landing platform, the current location of the pound will be closed.  We are working together with the town manager as well as the town council to find a new location in Windsor, raise money for construction of a new pound and educate community members about animal care.
