Great place to find your new fur baby. I volunteer there and did one foster. It was great to know you are helping find homes for these animals. Teddy Bear was in hurricane IAN and trucked to the shelter from St Augustine Florida. My two granddaughters also have cats from the shelter and volunteer also. They are self sustaining. Please help this wonderful animal shelter. Foster, adopt volunteer. Don’t shop adopt. You won’t be disappointed.

Very nice and knowledgeable personal. Very clean. Looked at some cats today. Very pleased with my visit. Highly recommend to anyone who would like to adopt a furry friend.

Kimberly was wonderful to work with. She greeted us with a big smile and took us to see the pups we were interested in. As we visited with the pups, she answered questions, gave advice and helped us through the adoption process quickly and efficiently. We left with our new puppy that same day!Another reason we chose NFSAW is because they participate on social media and that's how I became aware of their dedication and diligence in getting their residents adopted and announcing it so everyone knows.I think they are all AWESOME and highly recommend the service they provide, not only to those looking to adopt, but also to the dogs and cats in their care. I rate them a 10 out of 10,!

They hired my stepson who is autistic. We are so grateful! He loves his job there! Great people to adopt from!

As an animal lover I could recommend improvements. One of the head staff there is very rude and there were 2 sick cats that seemed almost forgotten about for hours. The rest of the staff were very friendly however and made up for the poor communication the first lady had. The rest of the animals seem well taken care of and there are plenty of volunteers.

We have adopted two dogs from this animal shelter. They care about their animals as a first priority. You are allowed to meet the animals and see if you click before completing the application, unlike other places that make you decide based on photos alone. Highly recommend going here if you are looking for a new furever friend.

We are fostering these beautiful cats with the saddest story. Hoping they get adopted soon. The shelter is amazing, the people are so caring and warm.

I have yet to receive an appropriate reception when I go into the shelter. I have lived in New Fairfield for 24 years. I get the impression they don't want to have thier animals rescued. I' glad there is Whiskers cat rescue in Southbury. They are very receptive and welcoming.

Great place, just don't have a ton of rescues. It is a small shelter. Wish it were open more! This was "Larry" (now wilson, who I adopted 8 years ago there)

Great little shelter! I got my two cats from here and my sister is fostering a dog from them as well. The shelter staff is friendly and informative, the shelter itself is well kept and clean. The animals are well taken care of and socialized by the staff and volunteers. The adoption process was also very straightforward and the staff walked us through it all. When I'm ready for my next animal, I will be coming back here.
