Bridgeport Animal Control Facilites
Our Mission
Bridgeport Animal Control is dedicated to serving our community and connecting animals in our care with loving, forever homes. We believe that every pet deserves a second chance at a happy and healthy life.
Serving Our Community
As a department within the Bridgeport Police Department, we play an essential role in keeping both our human and animal residents safe. Our team at the shelter on Evergreen Street works diligently to provide care and support for the animals that come through our doors, ensuring they are ready for their new families.
How We Help
We operate out of our shelter facility where our staff manages the daily care and processing of animals awaiting adoption. While we handle general inquiries through our office at 203-576-7727, our primary goal is to facilitate successful placements for the cats, dogs, and even exotic animals currently in our care.
Your New Best Friend
We invite you to view our adoptable residents online via Facebook and Petfinder to see who might be the perfect fit for your home. We prioritize thoughtful matches, asking potential adopters to provide proof of home ownership or a notarized lease to ensure our animals are entering secure environments. Our team reviews every application with care, looking forward to the moment we can schedule a meet-and-greet between you and your future companion.
Take the Next Step
If you are ready to find a new member of your family, please visit our online listings to see who is waiting for you. Once you have found an animal you are interested in, you can download our adoption applications directly from our website and submit your completed documents via email at animal.shelter@bridgeportct.gov or by fax. We are excited to help you start your journey toward a joyful partnership with a rescue pet.
