VIDEO: Thor, Night Hawk Search For Stability

A cat and dog are at the Connecticut Humane Society's Quaker Hill shelter and are looking for forever homes. Can you help them out?

If you're looking for a pet, drop into the Connecticut Humane Society's Waterford branch and have a look around.

The animal shelter is located at 169 Old Colchester Road 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 McCabe introduced us to these animals this week:

  • Night Hawk, a 1-year-old cat who loves to play,
  • and Thor, a well-trained dog who can sit, heel and high-five on command.

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 miss your chance however, these ones are still waiting for someone to bring them home:

  • three playful gerbils with furry tails.

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.
