Who needs The Little Guild?Beagles and Bichons, Chihuahuas and Chows, Pointers and Pit Bulls, Schnauzers and Schitzus, Boxers and Bassetts, Collies and Cockers, Malamutes and Mutts.

 

In the cat department too, the variety is stunning. Ragdolls, Siamese, Persians, Maine Coons are just a few of the identifiable breeds, which have been lost, strayed or abandoned and ended up at the shelter. Many come in ill or injured. All are checked by a veterinarian and given appropriate inoculations and are spayed or neutered before going to their new homes. The lucky ones go home in a few days. Most stay for a few months and occasionally as long as year or two.

 

The shelter is open to the public five days a week but staff is on the premises caring for the animals seven days a week year round.

 

The shelter is funded solely by donations

Imagine.......68 Artists, 68 Sponsors
a needy animal shelter, a small New England town (Kent, Connecticut)

and a white bisque dog.
