It is the responsibility of Monroe Animal Control Unit to investigate roaming dogs, animal bites, cruelty to animals, barking nuisance, unreasonable tethering or confining of a dog, valid rabies vaccination, dog licensure and rabies-related wildlife complaints that present an eminent danger to the public. When permissible, we assist with as many injured/distressed wildlife requests for as we can and take reports of rare wildlife sightings. We work closely with the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, our local municipal health department, Connecticut DEEP and local veterinarians to ensure the safety and well-being of the public and its animals. Monroe's Animal Control Officers (ACOs) also perform over-the-phone recommendations for animal-related issues and recover deceased animals from roadways and residences for disposal pickup. In addition to their routine response to these above mentioned investigative welfare complaints, animal service calls and rabies exposure cases, ACOs and facility staff are responsible for daily kennel-cleaning, facility care, maintenance, and keeping of public animal control records at the town's dog pound facility located at 447 Purdy Hill Road, Monroe, CT. It is through this facility, in which the agency facilitates the adoption of dogs and cats in their care. Monroe Animal Control is typically staffed by one full-time head ACO, a part-time administrative Assistant ACO, and two per-diem Assistant ACOs. All individual ACOs and assistant ACOs obtain and maintain our professional certifications as State of Connecticut Municipal Animal Control Officers which includes eighty or more hours of instruction and a yearly quota of continuing education credits.

ACO Gambino would like to thank the kind resident on Turkey Roost Road here in town who reported the injured young crow that has been hanging around in his yard for the past couple of days. We’d also like to thank Dabney, the animal rehabber in Fairfield who is gracious enough to take him into her care and give him the best shot at survival. We wish this guy the best. 🖤
