New Fairfield/Sherman Animal Welfare

Our Mission The mission of the New Fairfield/Sherman Animal Welfare Society, Inc. is to offer refuge, medical care, and the opportunity for a second chance for life to needy dogs and cats; to protect animals from cruelty or neglect; to foster a public sentiment of humanity and gentleness toward all living creatures; to encourage and promote responsible pet ownership; and to reduce companion animal overpopulation through humane education and spay/neuter advocacy.

We require a health certificate from a veterinarian within the state the dogs or cats come from. It is very important that dogs have distemper and rabies shots. Puppies require distemper and need to be 8 weeks old if transported to CT without the mother.
