Our Companions mission is to advocate for animals in need by engaging compassionate people to help provide innovative community programs. It is our promise to always do the right thing for animals and we are committed to helping animals in need today, while also providing programs to prevent animals from becoming homeless.
Once we receive your application, you will be assigned an Adoption Caseworker. They will work with you throughout the adoption process. Caseworkers are also available to talk with you before you submit an application about our process and available pets. We do take more than one application for each pet to ensure the best match possible is selected. Your Caseworker will review your application, which includes contacting your personal and veterinary references and talking with you to learn more about your preferences for your new pet. Once an appropriate match has been identified, your Caseworker will set up a meeting at our Program Center in Manchester, CT or Sanctuary in Ashford, CT. With dog adoptions, a dog-to-dog introduction will also be arranged prior to finalizing an adoption for those applicants wanting to welcome a dog into a multi-dog household. A visit to your home may be scheduled as well. If it’s a match, a separate adoption meeting is set up to bring home your new family member!
