About this shelter

Spotty Dog Rescue in Waterbury, CT

Spotty Dog Rescue is a dog rescue based in Waterbury, Connecticut, in New Haven County, about 4 miles south of New Haven, CT, where it operates alongside 27 other animal shelters and rescues in the county. It is a 100% volunteer-based nonprofit organization, with all of its resources donated by generous supporters. Its mission is to provide safe harbor, medical care, and love for adoptable dogs that have been abused, abandoned, or neglected until they can be placed into loving, permanent homes, while also promoting spaying and neutering, responsible pet ownership, and kindness toward animals through education. Before finalizing any adoption, each dog is spayed or neutered, given a full veterinary exam with appropriate tests and inoculations, and matched with a thoroughly screened adopter, and the rescue continues to offer advice and support after adoption to help each dog settle successfully into its new home.
