FEBRUARY 18th
We have been asked again and we are now promoting "AMY GREY"
Amy was found on the city streets of Bridgeport mid December.
She is on the quiet side now, as the shelter seems to be very upsetting to her lately. All the barking and no one to take her out e...ach day. Amy came in social and outgoing. She is very sweet. When you get her outside, she loves to be in the pen and runaround and roll in the grass! She has minimal prey drive and on the calm side. She is not affected by the other dogs in the shelter or the Cats. Thank you so much to Dj Fisch, DJ Amy Grey, & Wendy Lou!!!!
NOVEMBER 19th
On November 19th I was asked to promote Kia & Hutton on Radio 104.1. Obviously the dogs were adopted just a few days after my phone interview. Well, after naming Impound # 1041 "FISCH" after Fisch the radio personality on 104.1 they asked to have us on the radio again but this time wanted us to bring FISCH into the station personally so we did!
THANK YOU to the entire RADIO 104.1 gang! I also want to thank Wendy Lou she was recently inspired to create the show after she adopted adopted a dog!! SHE ROCKS!!!
My interview on 104.1 about FISCH the dog with Fisch from 104.1
Phone interview November 19th
Thank you to Fisch for having Jimmy on RADIO 104.1!!!!
Between both days at PETPALOOZA we had over 500 people come out and support. For a first event at the Bridgeport Animal shelter we truly feel this was a success!! The WALK could not have been more perfect. The turnout was truly amazing! Thank you to all that came down and to all of our sponsors!!! I wasn't sure what to expect with Scaredy Cat but I was so happy to see so many come out and support! The costumes were amazing!!
Next up Pucks for Paws!

PSA time again....Take a listen!
3 to choose from.
On May 14th 2011, Chief Animal Control Officer Jimmy Gonzalez as a member of the CTSART team was asked to volunteer for the ASPCA in Memphis, TN. The ASPCA disaster response team assisted in Tennessee and worked with the Memphis Animal Services and the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County to establish an emergency shelter to prepare for severe flooding. Jimmy was also asked to assist the ASPCA in Pemiscot County, Mo., to assist with the sheltering of hundreds of displaced animals because of flooding. While on deployment Jimmy also assisted the ASPCA Field Services team in three different states to assist in the operation of emergency animal shelters to over nine hundred animals. Jimmy completed an assessment of damage from a Tornado impact area and prepared and was deployed as a dual target field rescue team that completed three mission assignments in under 12 hours in two states.
On June 11th 2011 Chief ACO Jimmy Gonzalez was asked by the ASPCA to assist in Joplin, MO. On May 23, the ASPCA deployed to Missouri to lead emergency sheltering efforts of animals displaced by the tornado. Working closely with the Joplin Humane Society, nearly 850 animals have since been rescued—with more than 200 beloved pets reunited with their families.
MAY GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF JOPLIN.
Our greatest supporter!!!!
Lillian Millemaci Andersen, age 77, of Bridgeport, passed away on October 19, 2010 at St. Vincent's Medical Center. Her memory will be cherished.
Thank you Lillian! We will never forget you!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Drop by the shelter and pick up one of these posters which was recently designed by Jimmy Gonzalez. We are looking for people to volunteer their time by posting these up in locations where people will view them. Please understand that they weren't cheap to make so they should be posted at places where they will make a difference. We are looking for bulletin boards at supermarkets or offices, schools, etc. They are 11x17, so they are a nice size. The dog in the box is real!! He was abandoned at the old shelter wrapped in this box. Turns out he had a severed spine and had to be put down.
Jimmy chose this picture because it truly moved him. He had been carrying this picture on his phone for years of a reminder of how thoughtless and careless people could be. We aren't just looking for potential adopters but "GOOD, CARING, & RESPONSIBLE ADOPTERS!!"
