Our Companions Mission

The condition of animal welfare in Connecticut is surprisingly primitive. Currently, healthy, adoptable pets are euthanized on a daily basis in Connecticut's animal shelters. This problem not only harms innocent animals, but also has a numbing effect on our community.

Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary has researched other states that have nearly achieved a 0% euthanasia rate among healthy, adoptable pets and has identified the keys to their success.

Through this analysis Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary has created a three-part mission to directly target the root causes of pet homelessness in an effort to make Connecticut a state where no healthy pets are destroyed.
