Video: Humane Society's Pets Of The Week

If you're looking for a pet, drop into the  and have a look around. They have dogs, cats and the occasional small animal. 

The animal shelter is located at 169 Old Colchester Road and is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dog adoption hours begin at 10:30 a.m. The phone number is 860-442-8583.

Humane Society employee Rachel McCabe introduced us to these animals this week:

• Katie is a large and very affectionate cat. "She's a big girl, so who doesn't love a big fat kitty?"
• Cappuccino is a shy guinea pig who warms up to you quickly.
• Barney is a very good natured, young dog with a lot of energy and is very trainable. "I think he is going to make someone really happy."

Animals are adopted and dropped off at the Humane Society on a daily basis and most of the animals in this video series have been adopted, however these ones are still waiting for someone to bring them home:

• Bob is a 7-year-old male cat who is shy, curious and affectionate.
• Shadow, a 8.5-year-old female cat who is inquisitive and friendly.
• Brownie and Emma are shy and loveable young guinea pigs.
