The Little Guild

About

The mission of the Little Guild is to rescue, love, and heal homeless dogs and cats and help them find the forever homes they deserve. We also serve the broader community through such programs as reduced-cost spay/neuter and vaccination clinics, a free pet food pantry, and pet-related education events. The Little Guild, the only limited admission shelter in northwest Connecticut, was founded in 1960 by Muriel Alvord Ward and Eleanora Kleinschmidt. The current 3,000-square-foot facility accommodates 16 dogs and 25 cats comfortably at any time.

Adoption process

1. Adopters must be 18 years of age, participate in all pre-adoption interviews as well as read, sign and abide by a legal adoption agreement. 2. The 1st step is to fill out an adoption application online. 3. The initial application will include veterinary, personal and landlord references, if applicable. It helps to expedite the process if you let these people know that we will be contacting them and give permission for them to speak with us. 4. If you own your own home, you will be required to provide proof of ownership. 5. The next step is to schedule a visit at our facility where you can do a meet-and-greet with animals who we think might be a good match for your home and family. If you have existing dogs, we also need to schedule meet-and-greets for the them. 6. Please note that we do not allow "gifting" of our animals. The person who will own the animal MUST participate in the entire adoption process and sign the adoption contract.
