VIDEO: Humane Society's Pets of the Week

Honey, Petey and Jinxie search for their "fur-ever" homes.

The animal shelter is located at 169 Old Colchester Road and is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dog adoption hours begin at 10:30 a.m. The phone number is 860-442-8583.

Humane Society employee Rachel McCabe introduced us to these animals this week:

  • Honey, a 14-year-old cat with no adoption fee,
  • Petey, an 8-year-old dog who loves to learn tricks,
  • and Jinxie, a Guinea pig who likes to be held.

Animals are adopted and dropped off at the Humane Society on a daily basis so if you see an animal in this video who you want, act fast. If you miss your chance however, these ones are still waiting for someone to bring them home:

If you aren't interested in any of these animals, log onto the Humane Society website to see a gallery of all the adoptable pets.

If you have plenty of pets at home but still want to help out these great animals, the Humane Society is always accepting donations of food, toys and supplies.

You facts are correct Kathleen, Since Chief Ackley was promoted in June 2009 - Close to 40Read More Officers have left the department! 13 retired 22 went to other police departments 3 resigned or were terminated Survey says...! Instead asking about the nice artwork, lets ask why they are leaving...?!

Scotty B. If you know or even speak to any police officers or any NLPD employees you would know theRead More reason why the officers are leaving. The police administration is terrible, no leadership at the top and a city administration and four city councilors driven to gut and destroy the police department. These well educated and ambitious young officers know that there is no career opportunity here in the Whaling City so they are doing what is best for themselves. You would do the same.

If anyone bothered to read the mayor's response above, the part that I could figure out and reallyRead More concerned me was "The administration has also begun the process of using State LOCIP funds (at no cost to New London taxpayers) to install better lighting and security cameras throughout our City this year." I do check out things before I write about them and I checked out his claim regarding the use of LoCIP (Local Capital Improvement Program) No request has been made to the city council, as yet, for LoCIP funds for use as stated by the mayor. I did think a headline in The Day today was interesting "UPDATED: NL cops use video surveillance, GPS coordinates to capture shooting suspect" and couldn't help but wonder if the information provided to the reporters was to support the mayor's claim that our city is safe regardless of the number of police on duty.
