A Dog, A Cat, And A Ferret Walk Into A Bar ...

By Paul Petrone

If you're looking for a pet, drop into the Connecticut Humane Society's Quaker Hill branch and have a look around. They have dogs, cats and the occasional small animal. 

The animal shelter is located at 169 Old Colchester Road and is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dog adoption hours begin at 10:30 a.m. The phone number is (860) 442-8583.

Humane Society employee Rachel McCabe introduced us to these animals this week:

• Krissy, an active two-month-old Australian cattle dog mix,
• Kammi, a black-and-white cat,
• and Oliver, a very playful ferret.
