Update from Naugatuck PD: Status of Dogs
Animal control officers are being overwhelmed with phone calls, which is taking away from their primary goal of caring for these dogs.
Black Rock Canines Investigation 05/04/22 Update: DOGS STATUS
Dogs that were seized from this investigation and removed from Black Rock Canines, are being
held at an undisclosed location and receiving proper care, including evaluation by a
veterinarian. These dogs will NOT be available for fostering or adoption any time in the near
future, due to the fact that they are considered evidence in this investigation.
We ask that you please refrain from calling or emailing our Naugatuck Animal Control
Division, The Mayor's Office or the Police Department with questions in regards to adoption or
fostering of these dogs. Our animal control officers are being overwhelmed with phone calls,
which is taking away from their primary goal of caring for these dogs.
This is a police investigation and all questions should be directed to the Naugatuck Police Department’s Public Information Officer at pio@naugatuckpd.org.
We are thankful for the outpouring of concern and support over the animals in this case, and
while they are not available to adopt at this time, there are 6 other unrelated dogs ready to be
adopted down at Naugatuck Animal Control. These 6 dogs, some of which have been with us
since 2019, are all listed on the Naugatuck Animal Control Facebook page. While they are not
involved in this case, they each deserve a good home too, so we ask you to consider adopting or
fostering one of these available dogs
