Connecticut Humane Society Pets of the Week: Shellie, Cricket, Ty

By Paul Petrone

If you're looking for a pet, drop into the Connecticut Humane Society's Waterford branch and have a look around. They have dogs, cats and the occasional small animal.

The animal shelter is located at 169 Old Colchester Road and is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dog adoption hours begin at 10:30 a.m. The phone number is (860) 442-8583.

Humane Society employee Rachel McCade introduced us to these animals this week:
  • Shellie, a 3-year-old dog who prefers children over 10;
  • Cricket, a 1-year-old cat who likes to be pet;
  • and Ty, a handsome, blue-and-white parakeet.
