Meriden Animal Control/Saving Paws
Our Mission
The Meriden Animal Control Division is dedicated to the safety and well-being of our community's animals and the people who love them. We serve as a vital resource for the city, ensuring that all domestic animals are treated with the care and protection they deserve.
Who We Are
As an essential branch of Police Operations, our work in Meriden is rooted in a long-standing commitment to public safety and animal welfare. We serve as the frontline for investigating animal complaints and enforcing local and state ordinances, ensuring a balanced, safe environment for every pet and citizen.
How We Care
Our team works tirelessly at our facility on 311 Murdock Avenue to provide medical care, compassion, and temporary shelter for animals in need. We are proud to work closely with local partners, including the Meriden Humane Society and the Connecticut Humane Society, to ensure our animal residents receive the support they need while awaiting their next chapter.
Your Role in Our Community
Adoption is a joyful partnership that enriches both the home and the pet. By choosing to adopt or by participating in responsible pet ownership, you become a vital part of our efforts to provide second chances to the animals in our care. We are here to support you through that journey, ensuring that every placement is a positive, lasting match.
