All dogs 6 months of age must be licensed in the town in which they reside. Failure to license your dog could result in a fine of $60.00. Bring a copy of a current rabies certificate to your local Town Clerk to license or re-license. For those with time constraints, call your Town Clerk to make arrangements through the mail.
Who We Are
We are a division of the Ridgefield Police Dept., a municipal organization dedicated to enforcing the Animal Control Laws of the State of Connecticut. We cannot accept unwanted animals and we are not a no kill shelter.
Adopting a Friend
The Animal Population Control Program in Connecticut has been re-instated. To adopt an unsterilized dog or cat will cost $50.00($45.00 program fee and $5.00 municipal fee). A voucher must be filled out and the animal must be altered by a PARTICIPATING veterinarian within 60 days of adoption. The program allows $50.00 for a male cat, $70.00 for a female, $100.00 for a male dog, $120.00 for a female dog toward the cost of sterilization which include 2 pre surgical vaccinations. Any fees in excess of the program allowance and additional vaccinations and tests are the responsibility of the new owner.
