Homes Needed For Pets At Animal Control

The following dogs and cats are available for adoption from the Newtown pound, which is located at the end of Ethan Allen Road (behind the transfer station):

BANDIT is a two-year-old male Shepherd mix. He seems fine with dogs, cats and children. He’s friendly, loves to play and would make a great family pet.

JENNY is a three-year-old spayed female white/brindle mix breed who is well socialized with people, but cats and other dogs would not be an easy mix. Jenny is energetic and would play happily through the day with her new owners.

CHARLOTTE, a four-year-old female Hokkaido-terrier mix, has a sweet personality and is friendly with other dogs and people.

SASHA is a four-and-a-half-year-old spayed female brindle Terrier mix who would be an excellent companion for children.

ARTHUR  is an eight-month-old male mixed breed.  He loves to cuddle and thinks he’s a lap dog.  Arthur is very playful and puppy-like but can also be calm and very gentle. 

PRISCILLA is a seven-year-old female Pitbull.  She is great around cats and dogs and craves affection.  She has a very sweet personality and loves to be around people.

AMBER is a four-and-a-half-year-old white/brown spayed female mixed breed. Amber has a sweet nature would be fine with other dogs and cats.
