NEWINGTON, Conn. – Beginning April 30, The Connecticut Humane Society (CHS) will extend its weekend hours to better meet the needs of individuals and families who are unable to visit the organization’s shelters during the work/school week.
“We are extending our weekend hours to make it easier for people who are interested in adopting to visit our shelters and meet the animals we have available for adoption,” said Gordon Willard, CHS executive director.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
