The Ledyard Police Animal Control Division has become one of the most highly respected in Southeastern Connecticut. The condition of its facility, its involvement in many proactive community events, as well as its highly professional service all have led to this sterling reputation.

This division is responsible for the investigation of all incidents involving domestic animals, as well as the care and well being of animals taken into its facility.

The Animal Control Office exists to prevent cruelty, abuse and neglect of animals in the Town of Ledyard by enforcing all state, county and town ordinances to the fullest extent possible.

We shelter homeless animals and attempt to place them in safe and loving home environments. We educate the public on all animal issues, to foster a more aware and caring community.

There is only one officer on duty at a time. So, if they are tending to the animals at the shelter or out on a call they will not be available to answer phone calls or check Facebook messages. Please leave a detailed message with your name and number and your call will be returned as soon as we can. If it is an EMERGENCY, and we cannot be reached or it is after hours please call dispatch at 860-464-6400.

Animals that are available for adoption will be listed on our Facebook page. Please feel free to call and check in with the office also.

We have a wish list posted that gives an idea of the type goods we use here at the shelter. Donations are welcomed and appreciated and can be dropped off during business hours. The wish list can be found at: http://ledyardchain.org/?page_id=1335
In addition, Ledyard C.H.A.I.N. (Citizens Helping Animals In Need) is a local non-profit group that works with the community to offer assistance to the pets here at the shelter. You can contact them on Facebook or their website to learn more.
