Greenwich Animal Control enforces local laws pertaining to the keeping of dogs, cats, and other animals. However, it also supervises animal adoptions when pets are not claimed by their owners, offering the animals the care and shelter they need. If an owner does not come forward and cannot be located, the animal will be cared for and evaluated to determine if it is eligible for adoption to a suitable home.
