NAUGATUCK, CT — Naugatuck Animal Control announced Wednesday its facility is temporarily closed until further notice "due to a recent fire and flood incident."
In a Facebook post around noon, animal control officials said they wanted to reassure the community that all animals in their care are safe and have been relocated to mutual aid facilities.
"Thank you so much to Woodbury, Prospect, Woodbridge and Oxford for all their help," the post reads.
The post also noted animal control services "will continue to the best of our ability" while the facility remains closed.
According to the department, all animal-related complaints, concerns and emergencies should be reported through dispatch at 203-729-5222 and calls will be forwarded to an on-call animal control officer for response.
Non-emergency inquiries, questions and general concerns can be sent via email to animalcontrol@naugatuckpd.gov.
