what’s new with the Connecticut Humane Society as we approach

Society can run successful
community initiatives such as
the Pet Food Pantry that is
currently serving over a
hundred pets across the state.
Their mission is to enrich the lives of families and communities
through adoption services, medical care, education, and
prevention of cruelty. Whether it is volunteering, donating, or
fostering, your time and love will heal these animals from past
cruelties. For more information on how you can get involved or to
