On Aug. 19 the shelter will be waiving adoption fees on all dogs and cats to allow room for other stray dogs and cats to receive care.

From The East Haven Animal Shelter:The East Haven Animal Shelter has announced that on August 19th they will be participating in “Clear the Shelters” event activities. The facility under the direction of Animal Control Officer Owen Little is a community shelter that provides food, water, veterinarian care, refuge and compassion for lost, abandoned, abused, unwanted and neglected animals.

Assistant Animal Control Officer Sean Godejohn states “Last year was a great success with Clear the Shelters. We saw half of our dogs and cats get great homes. It’s very rewarding for myself and the staff of the East Haven Animal Shelter to see the animals we worked so hard to care for get adopted into a loving home.”

On Saturday August 19th between 8am-3pm the East Haven Animal Shelter will be waving the adoption fees on dogs and cats. All dogs and cats will be spayed/ neutered, micro chipped and up to date on all vaccinations and heartworm tested.
