Please Adopt Us

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):

There are three new dogs up for adoption:

TIFFANY, an 8-month-old female Jack Russell mix, would be a sweet and elegant companion and would love the company of other dogs, cats and children.

THOMAS is a 3-year-old neutered Chihuahua mix who is good with other dogs and cats and would do best with his pleasing loyalty to one owner.

STELLA is a 2-year-old spayed bassett hound mix who is fine with cats and cannot wait to give her new owner a little kiss.

Four dogs continue to wait for new owners:

MIDNIGHT, a female lab mix, is ready and willing to please a couple or single person in a quiet home with loving companionship. She can also provide company for a cat.

CHARLOTTE, a 4-year-old female Hokkaido-terrier mix, has a sweet personality and is friendly with other dogs and people.

TIMMY is a 4-year-old mixed breed dog who has a sweet personality. He is not good with cats.

JAKE, a 1Â½-year-old black lab mix, is friendly and energetic. He is not good with dogs and cats and needs obedience training.

There are two cats still up for adoption:

JOEY is a year-old black and white male cat who loves companionship.

JESSIE, a handsome 5-year-old nuetered male cat, has magical green eyes.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
