Animal Shelter

The Town of Cromwell DOES NOT have an Animal Shelter within our town. Cromwell Animal Control leases space from the Town of Middletown. The Shelter is located at 150 Berlin Street in Middletown. All animal inquires must be made via the Cromwell Animal Control at (860)635-7859.

All roaming dogs picked up are checked for tags, tattoos and are scanned for microchips. An advertisement is placed in the local newspaper and every effort is made to reunite the dog with it's owner. If the owner is not located within seven days the dog is put up for adoption. All dogs up for adoption in the Town of Cromwell are posted on the Cromwell Animal Control Facebook Page.

Impoundment Fee: Any dog found roaming at large shall be impounded by an Animal Control Officer. The owner shall be charged the following:

$15.00 impoundment fee.

$8.50 for each day after the first 24 hours of impoundment.

Owners are also subject to possible fines for town ordinance or state statute violations.
