1. Freedom from hunger or thirst by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigor
2. Freedom from discomfort by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area
3
. Freedom from pain, injury, or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment
4. Freedom to express normal behavior by providing sufficient space, proper facilities, and company of the animal’s own kind
5. Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering
6. Freedom to Live by finding adoptive homes for all healthy and treatable shelter dogs and cats
The Humane Commission meets at 6:00 PM on the third Monday of each month except on Monday holidays. The meetings are held at the shelter, Police Substation 10, 332 Whalley Avenue and are open to the public. Kroogman New Haven Animal Shelter. Your financial support is critical to saving lives and creating happy healthy pet families in New Haven. Due to limited city funding, our future is dependent on the generosity of animal lovers through grants and bequests and fees for services. Every little bit counts! Your support enables us to continue to be a community resource committed to improving the quality of life of our animals by maintaining and enhancing our facility, equipment and programs. Together, we can build a safe community where all companion animals are cared for without the threat of being homeless or unwanted. Tax ID No. available on request.
