Dog Boarding in Hamden
Where the Love is Animal Rescue, located right in Hamden, is an institution that has been serving the animals of Hamden and the surrounding community since 2011.

Doing work that makes a definitive impact, The Animal Haven is making steps forward for the wellbeing of dogs all over. This North Haven animal shelter goes to great lengths to ensure their animals are well cared for. They are thoughtful when considering the placement of their animals in permanent homes.
