We work closely with the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, our local municipal health departments, Connecticut DEEP and local veterinarians to ensure the safety and well-being of the public and its animals. Officers also proactively patrol areas of concern for safety with domestic pets within the region’s jurisdiction and perform over-the-phone recommendations for animal-related issues. In addition to their routine response to these above mentioned investigative welfare complaints, animal service calls and rabies exposure cases, all Animal Control Officers(ACOs) are responsible for daily kennel-cleaning, facility care, maintenance, and keeping of public animal control records at the regional dog pound facility located at 96 Erickson Road in New Milford, CT. It is through this facility, in which the agency facilitates the adoption of dogs and cats in their care. Regional Animal Control is staffed by one Chief ACO and two Assistant ACOs.
