Cheshire Animal Control officials have announced changes to their operations following allegations of violations of statutory and regulatory requirements. The town took custody of 28 dogs after a case of animal abuse, with two pregnant dogs giving birth to three puppies. Settlement was reached in October 2024, and the dogs have been put up for adoption. However, the town faced criticism from an animal advocacy group for claiming that the euthanized dogs were evaluated promptly after showing symptoms. The group provided evidence of neglect and suffering endured by the dogs.
The town officials have acknowledged the need for improvements in processes, maintenance, and cleanliness of the facility. The Department of Agriculture previously noted violations such as wet floors, poor grooming conditions, and inadequate cage sizes for the animals. The shelter has until January 2029 to make necessary upgrades to meet regulatory standards. The town has expressed regret over the loss of the dogs and is committed to ensuring the highest standards of care for animals in their custody.
