Local pets like Watseka, Small Fry, and Carolina count on community members who are ready to go the distance!

When New London animal control found Watseka wandering as a stray, supporters like you enabled CHS to take the baton—providing medical care, steady support, and the path to a new home. Small Fry didn’t start out so strong at the starting line in Waterford, but with consistent work from the behavior team, this once-grumpy bunny learned to trust humans and thrive as a family pet. Throughout Connecticut, cats like Carolina arrive every day in need of essential medical care and behavioral support before they can cross the finish line into a home of their own. 

Beyond the pet resource centers' walls, your support enables pets to stay with the people who love them through community wellness clinics, a local Pet Food Pantry, the Safe and Sheltered Crisis Foster Program, and more. 

 

Your paw-ticipation in this race means that you are a part of a community that shows up mile after mile for those in need. Now's your chance to lace up, set your pace, and run for local pets who are counting on someone to carry them to the finish.

 

The Connecticut Humane Society, serving the state since 1881, is the leading resource in the state for companion animal welfare, enriching the lives of families and communities through adoption services, medical care, education, and prevention of cruelty. With locations in Newington, Waterford, and Wilton, CHS envisions a state where each companion animal finds a permanent, compassionate home, where communities are enriched by the special bond between people and animals and where cruelty no longer exists.
