The Animal Control Division was established in 1935 when there was a Dog Warden, but in 1991 it was renamed Animal Control due to the arrival of the rabies virus which had been steadily moving up the East Coast.

The Animal Control Division enforces all state laws concerning animals, investigates roaming dogs, nuisance complaints, dog licensing, sick or injured animals, cruelty complaints, and rabies related complaints.

Fairfield Animal Control handles more than 600 dogs and cats annually. Although roughly 60% of the animals are returned to owners, the other 40% need homes.

Anyone wishing to redeem their dog should do so as soon as possible. Be sure to have proof of a dog license and rabies vaccination when you arrive.

Any dog impounded at the Fairfield Animal Shelter will be advertised in the lost and found section of the Connecticut Post. Eight (8) days from the advertisement date, the dog will go up for adoption.

Anyone wishing to adopt a dog or cat from the Fairfield Animal Shelter should fill out an application. If approved, the dog will be adopted to the first person at the door the morning the dog goes up for adoption.
