Danbury Animal Welfare Society, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in our community and beyond.

We promote responsible pet guardianship and the humane treatment of animals, and work toward ending animal overpopulation through education and a variety of programs.

We take pride in the work we do to shelter and care for homeless companion animals while they wait for people like you to give them a loving, forever home.

We have Open House hours daily and invite you to come to our shelter at 147 Grassy Plain Street in Bethel.  We're open Monday - Friday, 6:00pm - 8:00pm, and Saturday/Sunday from 2:00pm - 4:00pm.
