Animal Control
The Mansfield Animal Shelter is currently closed to visitors.
Our mission is to achieve the most efficient and effective use of resources for the benefit of the citizens and animals; to create an environment in which people can move about safely; and to minimize euthanasia by promoting our facility’s pets for adoption in as many ways as possible and to maintain management excellence.
NEW !! We are pleased to announce that Mansfield Animal Control now has a pet food pantry for Mansfield pets (dogs and cats) in need. Please call the shelter at 860-487-0137 to schedule curb side pick up or delivery.
UPDATE 05/18/2020 : Due to Covid 19, the Mansfield low cost rabies clinic is postponed until June 2021.
If you need assistance with a low cost rabies vaccine for your pet, please contact Mansfield Animal Control at 860-487-0137.
