We are a volunteer 501(c)(3) organization who work w/ the Robin I Kroogman New Haven Animal Shelter We are a 501(c)(3) organization.

Our volunteers work directly with the shelter staff to provide the animals at the Robin I. Kroogman New Haven shelter with the best, most compassionate service possible. As part of our efforts, we do the following:

• Organize and sponsor monthly adoption events in communities throughout the Greater New Haven area. We work directly with North Shore Animal League’s state-of-the-art mobile adoption

unit and have established partnerships with a wide range of caring businesses that host these events.

• Pay for unusual medical care that the animals would not ordinarily receive, including x-rays and tests for diseases like heart worm and feline leukemia.

• Participate with TEAM, a mobile spay/neuter facility for cats.

• Sponsor a foster care program for animals who need special attention.

• Offer personal assistance in choosing a companion animal to people who want to adopt from the shelter.

• Work with other rescue groups to place animals in good homes.

• Appear weekly on WTNH-TV News 8’s popular “Pet of the week” segment.

• Maintain two Web sites, one at www.findafriendforlife.org and the other on Petfinder.com, which generates many quality adoptions. (Visit us at www.petfinder.org/shelters/CT74.html)

• Publish Among Friends, a twice -yearly newsletter.

• Educate owners about pet care.

• Sponsor fund-raising events

Our volunteers work in many areas. Some deal directly with the animals-grooming, walking , and playing with the animals to keep them socialized. Others prefer to work on our fund-raising and public awareness programs. The shelter's adoption fee is $90 cash and includes a spay/neuter. There is an additional fee at the vet for pain medication, antibiotics and Lyme disease and Heartworm test.
