        • The Connecticut Humane Society is the oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization in the state and helps thousands of pets every year.

          We envision a Connecticut where each companion animal finds a permanent, compassionate home, where communities are enriched by the special bond between people and animals, and where animal cruelty no longer exists.
