Shelter
Information:
The Portland
Animal Control Shelter is a municipal dog pound. We house dogs from
Portland, Middletown and Cromwell (under lease agreements with both
towns).
We house
only dogs.
Pound Hours:
by appointment only
Animal control officers are responsible
for enforcing all Connecticut animal control laws. Our primary goals
are to educate the public, find loving homes for the animals that
find their way to our shelter, and maintain a clean and healthy
environment at the shelter.
Adoption
Policy:
All animals
are adopted through the Animal Population Control Program. This
program pays for two pre-surgical immunizations and for the animal
to be spayed or neutered.
The adopting party pays a $45.00
APCP fee at the time of adoption and a $5.00 adoption fee to the
town for a total of $50.00. The adopting party then takes the animal
to a participating vet within 60 days of ownership to be spayed/neutered
and have its vaccinations. The Program pays up to $100.00 for a
male dog, and $120.00 for a female dog toward spaying/neutering,
($50.00 for a male cat, $70.00 for female cat,) and $10.00 each
for two vaccinations. If the bill goes above those amounts, the
adopting party will be responsible for the additional charges.
In the event that the animal is already
spayed or neutered, it is a $5.00 non-refundable adoption fee. Out-of-state
adopters do not participate in the APCP program. For more information
on our adoption policy, please contact the Animal Control Officers
at the numbers listed above.
Animals impounded by Cromwell or
Middletown within their boundaries can only be released by a Cromwell
or Middletown ACO...please contact them for adoption information;
Cromwell 635-2256, Middletown 344-3298.
