Mission: The Connecticut Humane Society (CHS) 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. Four core values bring this mission to life: stewardship, quality care, community, and respect.

In recent years, CHS has responded to the growing trend of pets living in poverty, providing vital resources to pet owners: donor subsidized veterinary care, a pet food pantry, and training on pet enrichment and behavior.

With 40% of Americans unable to cover an unexpected bill of $1,000.00, strategies to keep pets in homes are now an active part of the CHS mission.

Connecticut Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1933, and donations are tax-deductible.
