As we ring in the New Year, it is also a time of reflection on the year that has passed. Watertown Animal Control has had quite the year (as many other town’s animal control divisions have had as well)!
At the beginning of the year, one of our Animal Control Officers retired after many years of service, leaving only one ACO for the rest of the year.
During this time, Watertown had 2 major animal cruelty cases. One involving severe neglect of 4 large dogs and a cat. The other involved seizing over 50 animals, most of which have been adopted out! In both cases, Watertown won custody of all animals through court. A win to say the least!

ACO Mosakowski would like to share her appreciation to everyone who was patient during the times where calls may have been slightly delayed due to cruelty investigations or the undertaking of many animals at the Animal Control facility.
As always, a massive thank to each and every person who donates to the care of the animals! So many times we see the same names pop up when donating through the Amazon Wishlist or dropping items off. It not only makes the ACO’s life a bit easier, but makes the animal’s lives that much more enriching!

With all this being said, we would like to officially introduce everyone to the 7 adult dogs seized from the hoarding case back in September! They are officially up for adoption!🎉🎉🎉

The dogs are as listed below (and labeled on their photos).
🐾Blue- 1 year old male Shepherd/Husky
🐾Wolfie- 1 year old female Shepherd/Husky
🐾Titan- 2 year old male Shepherd
🐾Willie- 1 year old male Shepherd/Husky
🐾Silver-1 year old female Shepherd/Husky
🐾Harmony- 2 year old female Shepherd
🐾Lexi- 3 year old female Husky (pending meet & greet)

Everyone is people friendly, but will need a cat free home, adults only. They will all need a home where training is an everyday occurrence. SHEPHERD/HUSKY experience is a MUST!

Every single one of these dogs holds a special place in ACO Mosakowski’s heart and she will be ensuring they go to the PERFECT homes.

If you are interested in learning more about any of these pups, give us a call at 860-945-5217 or email Emily at [email protected].
‼️We will not be accepting Facebook messages regarding adoptions‼️

With 7 large breed dogs, we do need items donated from our WishList.
We’re currently in need of 3 more XL Black Kongs, long last dog chews (each dog gets 1-2 daily so we go through about 14/day!), large sturdy outside balls, p*e pads and Clorox Bleach & Cleaner spray.

We would like to extend another thank you to Watertown Meat Center for always graciously donating marrow bones whenever needed!

To all our supporters, we want to wish you a very happy and Healthy New Year!🎊

This holiday season we are hoping the public can help us give the animals in our care THE BEST holidays! 🦃 🍽️ 🎅 🎁

We’ve added many items to our WishList that can be purchased and delivered right to us!

Amazon WishList: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33UI6CRFT7BDU?ref_=wl_share

We are completely out of long lasting chews and need some extra special Thanksgiving wet food for a special dinner on Thursday.

We are also accepting monetary donations that will go directly towards all the animal’s veterinary care.

This year, we have a full kennel and they keep us busy! We enjoy spending everyday with them and hoping we can make their stay with us as special as possible, with your help!!🐾❤️

Rescue pending!!🎉

Unfortunately, Kingsley was returned to us this morning. We are incredibly sad, as is he.

Kingsley is a Bulldog mix and if you know anything about Bulldogs, they can be stubborn, pushy and occasionally have an attitude for no reason. But they also are wholeheartedly loyal to their people, smart and incredibly loving.

Kingsley spent the first 1.5 years of his life in a crate 90% of the time. Due to this, he is still learning how to be a dog. He doesn’t understand what is appropriate and what isn’t.
He can become overstimulated easily, leading to nipping and pulling at clothes. This is NOT aggression, it’s a reaction due to being over the threshold of stimulation/excitement. He doesn’t know this behavior is “bad” because no one has put forth effort to teach him, or not let him get over that threshold in the first place.

We are again searching for King’s forever home. Not a home for a few days or a month, a FOREVER home.
Someone who will be patient, understanding, set up boundaries and routine.
Ideally, we’d love someone with Bulldog experience.

✅Neutered
✅Rabies vaccinated
✅Good with other dogs
✅Good with older children (15+)
✅House trained
✅Crate trained

❌No cats
❌No small children

If you’re interested in meeting Kingsley, or applying to adopt, reach out to Emily at 860-945-5217 or email [email protected].

Two adoption announcements in one day!? YOU BET!🎉

Buddy has found his forever family! We were so sad seeing such a great dog not have any interest in him until a fellow ACO received a call from a family who had lost their dog recently and just could not bare having a quiet home. That’s where Buddy comes in!
It seems Buddy was just want they needed, and they were just what he needed.
Happy tails Buddy!🐾💚
