The CHS envisions a Connecticut where each companion animal finds a permanent, compassionate home, where communities are enriched by the special bond between people and animals, and where animal cruelty no longer exists. Their actions and decisions are based on providing the best medical and shelter care, and services to the most animals. They respect the life of each individual animal while focusing on the welfare of staff, community, and the animal population as well. The general public, the staff members and volunteers are all viewed as their partners in improving animal welfare and in fulfilling their mission.
