General Volunteer Orientation

The Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter has been helping homeless animals along the Connecticut shoreline and vicinity since April 2003.Hundreds of displaced animals come through our doors each year and it takes a lot of time, rehabilitation and veterinary care to place them into new homes.With such great support from the Town of Branford, our dedicated staff, and our terrific volunteer base, we provide some of the best animal control & shelter services available in the state.
