At Bridgeport Animal Control, our mission is to provide dedicated support to animals in our community and to connect them with loving, forever homes. We are committed to maintaining a safe and professional environment while serving the needs of the animals and citizens of Bridgeport.
As a vital part of the Bridgeport Police Department, we serve as a resource for animal welfare and community safety. Our team is here to manage animal-related needs, ensuring that both residents and our four-legged friends are treated with care and respect.
Our shelter operates as a central hub for animal care, providing a dedicated space for pets awaiting their next chapter. We focus on providing a secure, managed environment where animals can thrive while staff facilitate the essential process of finding them a family. Our team works hard every day to maintain a high standard of care for every resident in our shelter.
We believe that every animal deserves a second chance, and we are here to help you find your perfect partner. To ensure the best fit for both you and our animals, we review all adoption applications with care, requiring documentation such as proof of home ownership or a lease to confirm a stable environment. Our team is excited to support you through the process, from your initial inquiry to your eventual meet-and-greet.
Ready to meet your new best friend? You can view our current adoptable animals by visiting our listings on Facebook and Petfinder. If you have found a pet who captures your heart, please download an adoption application from our website and submit it via email to animal.shelter@bridgeportct.gov or by fax. We look forward to helping you start a new, joyful chapter with a deserving animal.
