The Connecticut Humane Society is the leading resource in the state for companion animal welfare, enriching the lives of families and communities through adoption services, medical care, education, and prevention of cruelty. Connecticut Humane Society receives no ongoing municipal support, is not affiliated with any national animal welfare groups, and does not euthanize for time, space, breed or age. CHS envisions a state where each companion animal finds a permanent, compassionate home, where communities are enriched by the special bond between people and animals and where cruelty no longer exists.
