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.
