“Four legged friends are the best!”
*Woof!* I'm Joshua and I just said 'Hello!' in dog speak. I've been told I'm a good human and often get wet nose kisses in recognition of a job well done. Dogs are simply amazing and I absolutely love them. I appreciate dogs of all sizes and breeds, but big playful pups are my favorite. When caring for your dog, you can rest assured that your fur baby is in the good hands of a trustworthy human who is as loving to your four-legged friend as you are. Your pup is always priority #1!

I have grown up around all kinds of animals especially dogs both big and small. I currently love and care for a sweet little chihuahua/doxen mix and hope to adopt a larger dog as well. I am very interested in using canine behavior and body language to understand how they feel so I provide the best care possible.

I have had dogs my entire life; I currently have 2 chocolate labs. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years around my neighborhood. My experience includes being a member of Kids for Paws, an organization that raised money to donate to animal shelters, military dogs, and guide dogs. I was also a volunteer at the SPCA while I was in college. I am great with everyone from high-energy puppies that love to play to older dogs who just love to snuggle. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends!

“Love is a four legged word”
Hello, my name is Donna. I’m Marleys mom.... I love dogs and wish I could have more then one! But my Marley isn’t too friendly and doesn’t like to share my attention... so instead I have decided to surround myself with your fur-babies! I love all dogs like they are my own and enjoy walking playing and interacting with them. I can do drop in visits, potty breaks, walks, play dates, feeding. Etc...

“I will treat your dog as one of my family!”
I grew up with dogs on our horse farm & pet sat through college. I was a vet tech, dog groomer & kennel manager for 8 years at a vet before starting my own business so I can do various medical treatments, meds, etc. I have 2 large dogs- Griffey a humane society pup and Monty a golden retriever. If you are going away for a weekend or vacation, my daughter, son and I all do house/pet sitting in your home. Keep your dog in the comfort of it's own home/schedule & not the stresses of a kennel.

Dog Boarding in Glastonbury
Protectors of Animals (POA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization that has been going strong since 1975. Their missions is clear - to save all unwanted pets and rehome them into loving, forever homes and to educate the public on the joys and responsibilities of adopting a pet. The dedicated, loving staff is one of the finest group of people you will ever know; they advocate for animals because the animals don't have a voice. They will not rest until every unwanted, abused and neglected pet finds their forever home and their long-awaited happily ever after.
The amazing, selfless, volunteers are the backbone of POA. They do everything necessary to help the animals in their care. They do office work, they provide loving foster homes for the adoptable pets, they make and receive countless phone calls on behalf of the adoptable pets, they administer meds and flea meds to the adoptable pets, and they groom, socialize, cuddle, walk, teach and offer patient and loving care to each of their many adoptable pets. Some volunteers even take their adoptable cats and dogs to senior centers to keep the residents company or to area schools to educate kids on the importance of being kind to all living creatures.
The POA is located at 144 Main Street in East Hartford, Connecticut. If you are looking for a loving cat or dog, POA has so many cuties for you to come and meet. Be prepared to fall in love more than once! If you have any questions about adoption or about behavioral or nutritional needs of your current pet, the staff is ready and willing to help you - just give them a call!
If you are unable to adopt a new friend right now, you can volunteer your time or make a much needed, tax-deductible financial contribution to POA. Educating the community is important and is the first step in better treatment and care of the animal population of Connecticut!
