I am very appreciative of all that the NFSAW does for the needy animals and our community. Not only do they help with the welfare of uncared for or lost animals, but they also contribute to their community through other recycling activities for cell phones and computers. You can find the donation boxes at various places around town in New Fairfield and Sherman. I am very thankful to the NFSAW, as I know that the volunteers work very hard, dedicating their own personal time for an important cause. It takes a lot of work to organize and manage the various fundraising and community events required to help the NFAW shelter survive, such as the Holiday Boutique at the Senior Center and the wine tasting event held in Sherman.

After being involved for many years, volunteering as a crafter.
I was asked to be on the Board for NFSAW. What a honor!
I knew making the crafts for the "Christmas Boutique" gave me joy.......but most of my joy came from being able to raise lots of money for these precious animals.
I totally enjoy what I do for the NFSAW.
The people I have met along the way.... I now consider as FRIENDS.

My family has adopted three cats from NFSAW. The shelter itself is one of the nicest facilities I have ever seen and the staff is wonderful. I was a little afraid to visit the first time, as I was concerned the cats would be sad and in cages. Instead, we found a beautiful, light filled room with cats running freely all over. Much better than living in a stone wall in the cold. Thanks to all the volunteers that take such good care of the cats and dogs lucky enough to end up there.

We have ferral cats living in the woods behind our house. NFSAW helped our neighbor to trap and spay/neuter many of the cats we now feed.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Add a TV or radio that would play all day to acclimate the cats to the noise of a house. Our house is fairly quiet, but the cats were a little nervous for a few days.

NFSAW is a top notch facility staffed by people devoted to providing the highest quality care for the animals in their charge. They truly have the animals' best interests at heart, which has been evident with every interaction I have had with them over the years, including as a visitor, adoptor and donor. NSAW is truly a benefit to the community and the unfortunate animals lucky enough to find their way here, making NFSAW very deserving of your support. We are fortunate indeed to have NFSAW in our town.

We recently adopted a 1 year old Golden retreiver/Labrador mix and we couldn't be happier with NFSAWS. They did a through background check on us (as they should!) including calling our vet to make sure that the pets we have currently were up to date on all of their Vaccines. They allowed us to bring our 2 dogs to meet the new dog before we made our final decision to adopt. They provided us with his full medical history as well as the frontline and heartworm medicine that he needed. It was obvious from the start that they really cared deeply about "Kovu" and were dedicated to placing him in a stable, loving home.
We are thrilled with the level of commitment that NFSAWS shows to the welfare and well-being of the animals in their care. We love our new pup and can't thank them enough for helping to bring us all together!

We just recently adopted our first dog from NFSAWS and couldn't be happier! The shelter is a great place and their volunteers work so hard to take care of the animals and help adopters through the process and beyond. They work with Companion Pet Rescue, another wonderful organization, to rescue needy dogs and find them homes and I couldn't be more grateful that all their hard work brought me my wonderful pet!

My husband and I attended the bowling tournament which we enjoyed very much as well as the wine tasting, where we bought numerous bottles of wine which we still have at home. Both events were told to us by Suzanne Glynn and we are greatful that we can help out the pets at the site. We would definitley love to do something again to help out.
We adopted Zeus, our black lab, whom we love verymuch. He is like the child we never had, and yes, he is very spoiled! Suzanne told us of a stray cat she found that was older and was able to place it quickly in thehome of a cat owner, when others felt that it was not possible to place.
