Hartford Pound dogs are found in junkyards, abandoned
buildings and city streets.  They are given 10 days to find a
new home before they are euthanized.
 We have no
medical history on them
, so they'll need at least
some basic veterinary care (vaccines & such).
 
These are dogs who would make fantastic companions if
given a chance.

The term "
Legal Day of Adoption" that you see in the dog
descriptions refers to the day the dog can leave the pound -
this is also the day that the dog will be euthanized if it has not
been claimed or adopted.  If you meet a dog in person that you
want to adopt, you can put it on hold before its Legal Day of
Adoption.

Please consider adopting a Hartford Pound dog.  Go to our
Available Dogs page and find your new friend!

DOG OF THE WEEK
Pit bull mix  - female, 8
months old, approximately
45 lbs. This sweet girl was
taken in a neglect
case...she was found
chained to a makeshift dog
house in the heat with no
food or water.  She is
friendly, playful and
affectionate.  The poor girl
melts at any sign of
kindness and
affection...you can tell she
hasn't had much of it in her
life.  She doesn't have
much time left.  If you can
find room in your home
and heart for this sweet
dog, she would be so
appreciative.  Why don't
you come down and meet
her?  You won't be sorry.  
She can be adopted any
time now.  #547
