• Pet of the Week: Parish (newbritainherald.com) — Newington pet owners should know the Connecticut Humane Society offers reduced-fee veterinary care through its local pet resource center, funded entirely by donors. While this week's featured puppy Parish is adoptable in Wilton, Newington residents can still visit CHS locations, explore other adoptable animals, and access support services that help keep family pets healthy and at home.
