Connecticut General Statutes Title 22. Agriculture. Domestic Animals § 22-336. Towns to provide pounds or other suitable facilities. Regulations. Enforcement. Inspection report

Each city or town, other than towns participating in a regional dog pound, shall (1) provide and maintain for use as a dog pound a suitable building, which shall be made comfortable for the detention and care of dogs and other domestic animals and kept in a sanitary condition, or (2) provide, through written agreement, for the detention and care of impounded dogs or other domestic animals by a licensed veterinarian, or in a licensed veterinary hospital, licensed commercial kennel, a dog pound maintained by another city or town, or other suitable facility approved by the commissioner. Any city or town may provide for the use of such building or facility to shelter other domestic animals that are found injured, mistreated or roaming in a manner that endangers the domestic animal or the public. The commissioner may adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54,  1 concerning the construction and maintenance of dog pounds or other facilities where impounded dogs or other domestic animals are kept, and the care, handling and transportation of dogs or other domestic animals by municipal animal control officers. The commissioner may inspect any dog pound or other facility where impounded dogs or other domestic animals are kept and may issue such orders as the commissioner deems necessary to correct any improper conditions found to exist. A report of any such inspection and the findings from such inspection shall be provided to the applicable municipal animal control officer not later than five days after such inspection. Such animal control officer shall provide a copy of the inspection report and any such findings to the chief elected official of such city or town and the applicable police department or supervisor of such municipal animal control officer not later than thirty days after receipt of such report and findings. If such orders are not complied with, the commissioner may request the Attorney General to bring an action for their enforcement, including suit for an injunction in the judicial district in which the dog pound or facility is located.
