Where the Love Is Animal Rescue in Hamden, CT

Where the Love Is Animal Rescue is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter based in Hamden, Connecticut, in New Haven County, about 8 miles south of New Haven. It is a registered 501(c)(3) rescue organization that has been saving dogs since 2013, focusing on rescuing abandoned or surrendered dogs of all breeds from neglect and abuse and giving them a second chance at life. The rescue relies on a network of foster homes to care for dogs until they find permanent adoptive families, and it also offers resources for pet owners, including options for those needing to surrender a pet.
