About this shelter

Connecticut Humane Society in Newington, CT

The Connecticut Humane Society is located in Newington, Connecticut, in Hartford County, about 5 miles north of Hartford, and is one of 21 other animal shelters and rescues serving Hartford County. It is the oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization in the state, helping thousands of pets every year through adoption, veterinary care, and pet food pantry programs, with additional locations in Waterford and Wilton. The organization envisions a Connecticut where every companion animal finds a permanent, compassionate home, communities are enriched by the bond between people and animals, and animal cruelty no longer exists. Beyond adoptions, CHS offers services such as the Fox Memorial Clinic, pet behavior consultations, dog training, and youth education programs.
