Town of South Windsor Ordinance
Sec. 12-5. Restraint and confinement--Generally.
(a) It shall be unlawful for the owner or keeper of any dog to fail to
keep his dog under restraint or to permit his dog to run at large upon
the streets and public ways of the town or upon property other than that
of the owner or keeper.
(b) No owner, keeper or custodian of any animal shall fail to exercise
proper care and control of such animal to prevent the animal from becoming
a public nuisance.
Currently
all stray or injured animals are temporarily brought to the South Windsor police department
until they can be taken to the CT Human Society in Newington. To
reclaim an animal you must contact the Animal Control Officer at 860-648-6239
during normal office hours or call the South Windsor police at 860-644-2551

It should be noted that facilities for stray cats
are extremely limited. Only in extraordinary circumstances will our animal
control officers capture stray cats.
