About Us

Where the Love Is Animal Shelter, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter in Hamden, Connecticut. Since 2013, our mission has been to save abandoned or surrendered dogs from
neglect and abuse whenever possible and give them a second chance in life.

All dogs are fully vetted, receive some training, and get lots of love before they are matched with a new family.

Where the Love Is Animal Shelter is run solely by dedicated volunteers, so 100% of your donation goes toward the animals’ health care and social and emotional well-being.

Aboutus

What's all the bark about? 

Our supporters have been showing US where the love is for years! Here's a small sampling of what they've had to say about their experience. 

"I wish all the shelters were like you, as some don’t give the dogs a
chance. They all should be found homes no matter how long it
takes." 

-Sue D. 

"Regardless of the cause, every surrender is a heartache. That is
what makes all what you lovely people at WTLI do priceless. God bless you always."

-Julian R.

"I want to give a review of this wonderful place because I am so
appreciative of what they did for me! It truly is where the love is if
you are looking for a place that stands behind their name with
incredible love, integrity, and encouragement. If there was a
number 100 , I would give it to them. SO GRATEFUL TO YOU
ALL!! MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT YOU AND KEEP YOU
ALWAYS IN HIS LOVING HANDS WITH ALL THE BEAUTIFUL
DOGS." 

-Fredi V.

"I just want to say thank you. This was the nicest, most helpful and
genuinely caring email someone has sent in response. I appreciate it!"

-Denise W.

"Could not have gotten a better dog. Your establishment has brought so many amazing years of memories for us. You and your staff are incredible and special. We love you so much and brag about you consistently."

-Mike C.

"We want you to know that your volunteers did a fabulous job connecting us with Diesel's previous family and making sure the (surrender) situation was good for all involved."

-Andrea P.
