Pets on Wheels of Connecticut, Neighbor

The mission of Pets on Wheels of Connecticut is to improve the lives of people and pets through the healing qualities of the human-animal bond by supporting the adoption and ownership of homeless dogs and cats.

Pets on Wheels of Connecticut (POW CT) provides an essential, but often overlooked service: financial assistance and transportation for a person in need to adopt their own cat or dog from a local rescue shelter. Too often, the individuals most in need of the love and comfort that a pet can provide are unable to afford the necessary vet care needed to keep the animal healthy and happy. Tasks such as getting to the rescue shelter or transporting a pet to the vet can be impossible without access to animal-friendly transportation. And as essential as adoption fees are to support our local animal shelters, they can be just too high for someone facing financial difficulties.

Pets on Wheels of Connecticut believes that no one should be denied their own pet. We make owning a pet possible despite these barriers, and have placed animals in the homes of senior citizens on fixed incomes, recent military veterans coping with readjustment, socially isolated young adults, and other individuals in need of the unconditional love a pet companion provides.
