Our Companions Domestic Animal

Our Companions mission is to advocate for animals in need by engaging compassionate people to help provide innovative community programs. It is our promise to always do the right thing for animals. Watch our video and learn more about New England's most trusted animal welfare organization. Our Companions Animal Rescue was founded in 2002 after receiving a gift of 43 acres of land in Ashford, CT for the purpose of building Connecticut's first animal Sanctuary, rehabilitation, and adoption center.The Sanctuary, the only one of its kind in New England, provides a comforting, home-like, enriching environment for our community's most vulnerable animals (those who are older, traumatized, abused, or neglected).

Our Companions Animal Rescue is rated 4 out of 4 stars by Charity Navigator, the nation's largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities.
