GREENWICH, Conn. --  Cats and dogs are being dumped in lower Fairfield
County as the Connecticut Humane Society's Westport shelter remains
closed for renovation, local animal control officials and advocates say.

The renovated Westport shelter will be able to hold 300 animals and offer
improved veterinary facilities, said Cheryl Rice, a Humane Society
spokeswoman in Newington. The Westport shelter is scheduled to reopen
this summer, she said.

The Humane Society, a private nonprofit organization based in Newington,
operates shelters in Newington, Bethany and Waterford, which are too
distant to accept pets from Stamford and Greenwich, animal control
workers said.
