Humane Society's Pets of the Week

Kelly, Peanut and Duncan search for their forever homes.

This article was reported and written by Paul Petrone.

If you're looking for a pet, drop into the Connecticut Humane Society's Quaker Hill branch and have a look around. They have dogs, cats and the occasional small animal. 

The animal shelter is located at 169 Old Colchester Road in Waterford and is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dog adoption hours begin at 10:30 a.m. The phone number is (860) 442-8583. Humane Society employee Rachel McCade introduced us to these animals this week:

  • Kelly and Peanut, a mother-son pair who prefer older children,
  • and Duncan, a beautiful cat who prefers to be with adults only. 
Animals are adopted and dropped off at the Humane Society on a daily basis, so if you see an animal in this video who you want, act fast.  If you aren't interested in any of these animals, log onto the Humane Society website to see a gallery of all the adoptable pets.
