• Naugatuck Animal Control Seeks 'Desperately Needed' Home For Dog (patch.com) — Naugatuck Animal Control is urgently trying to find a permanent home for Raven, a 1.5-year-old shepherd mix who's been in their care for over a year. Staff say she's highly trained, energetic, and needs an active, experienced family who can provide structure, attention, and plenty of exercise rather than long days in a crate.
