Rescued From Bitter Cold, This Windsor Locks Dog Needs A Home

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — Found wandering alone in the bitter cold just after midnight, a young dog now waits behind kennel doors, hoping someone recognizes his face — or decides to make him family.

Max was discovered Feb. 2 outside 55 South St. in Windsor Locks, according to a letter shared by Windsor Locks Animal Control. A concerned resident reported the dog roaming in the extreme cold, prompting police to respond and bring him to safety.

Animal control officials say Max remains unclaimed weeks later. Despite waiting each day for someone to come through the door looking for him, no one has.

The dog is currently being cared for at the Windsor Locks Animal Control facility, where he has food, shelter and a warm place to rest.

Looking For A Forever Home

Now, officials are hoping the public can help change Max’s story.

Anyone interested in adopting Max — or who may have information about his owner — is asked to contact the Windsor Locks Police Department Animal Control Division at 860-627-1461, Ext. 140.

Officials say Max is ready to meet his new best friend.
