Griffin Pond Animal Shelter

Griffin Pond Animal Shelter This is the official social media page for Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. Thank you for visiting!

First and foremost, we thank everyone who has adopted for choosing adoption as the best option! Here you will find some remarkable stories that will make you smile and help you understand why each and every one of us at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter believes in second chances. Often many of us, including staff members and regular volunteers keep in touch with some of the adopters because we all fall

in love with many different animals each day that touch our hearts for one reason or another. Bittersweet tears frequent our faces each day when we must say good bye to some of our special friends (who we bonded with while caring for them) on their special day when we get to send them off to a better life. I wish more people got to see the “before and after” pictures, or that priceless look on an animal’s face when you watch as he/she anxiously leaps into a car to finally go to their FOREVER HOME. Many people ask, "how can you handle working at a shelter?" True, most days bring each of us heartbreak but that "aha moment" is exactly why each member of the team at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter does what we do, every day.

Olive (9 months) & Ruby (1 1/2) are 2 of our “Meadow Avenue” blind babies 💕

They are safe and warm with us but are in need of a loving forever home. 🏠

They are a little unsure of their surroundings and fearful of the unknown but they have the ability to come into their own more quickly if they were in the comfort of a home.

They navigate the litter boxes without issue and they have no problem finding their food!

They have all lived among other cats and would likely do well with proper introductions.

Mina’s Cage (and her adoption fee) are sponsored by Harrison Wolff in loving memory of Marina Goldshteyn ❤️
Thank you for honoring your friend in such a meaningful way .

Our animals dearly appreciate your kindness and support.

Are you looking for a way to support the animals in the shelter? Are you looking for a way to showcase your business while doing so?

We have a wonderful program available; ✨ “Sponsor A Shelter Pets Stay”. ✨

You can sponsor a stay in honor of someone, in memory of someone, for a birthday or a holiday, or just because you want to help an animal!

You can highlight your business 👩‍💼 by showcasing your business name on a shelter pets cage. 🫶🏼

You can choose what you want your sponsor card to say, and then we’ll place that card on the animal’s kennel for the duration of your sponsorship.

You can choose how long you’d like to sponsor a pets stay, and you have the choice to sponsor a cat, dog or small animal. 🐾

This program helps the animals by providing them with daily care, feeding, necessities, Veterinary treatment, etc.

If the animal “in that cage” finds a home , the next animal to inhabit the cage will benefit from your donation 💕

Simply click on the link below ⬇️ for more information on how to sponsor the stay of one of Griffin Pond’s amazing animals.💖

Olaf ….
This big hunk of bulldog man is available for adoption !
Hes approximately 3 years old and 60 pounds.
He’s a stray from Scranton who was being rehomed via the internet and ended up with us.

He has tested well with dogs , cats and kids however he is on a medication to control his blood pressure.

It is not an expensive medication we are averaging $30 a month.

He’s a great silly boy who is in great need of a forever home ! 🏠

Just look at those wrinkles !
