Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (NECCOG)

NECCOG, since 2004, has operated a regional animal services program. The NECCOG program provides the full range of animal control services as directed by Connecticut Statutes for the health and well being of domestic animals. We also operate a kennel facility in Dayville where animals are housed for potential adoption, quarantine or to be reunited with their owner. Each year the program receives in excess of 7,000 calls, conducts approximately 1,500 investigations and places approximately 200 animals. To date, the program has placed more than 6,000 animals and no animals have been euthanized due to lack of space. Each animal eligible for adoption is fully evaluated by our staff and we seek the best match possible. Since 2004, NECCOG has placed nearly 4,000 animals and we have not had to euthanize any animal due to a lack of space – all animals (with the exception of diseased or temperament issues) that can be placed with an appropriate owner are so placed. While our program is paid by the participating towns, we are always in need of donations (cash or items) to cover expenses such as veterinarian services, food and other items to make our animals more comfortable. Persons wanting to donate can do so directly with NECCOG.
