Mission Statement
Kenway's Cause provides financial support to the stray animals in Hartford, CT. We provide emergency vetting for injured strays picked up by Animal Control, network to find stray animals foster/forever homes.
About This Cause
Our mission is to provide support for the dogs at the City of Hartford Animal Shelter. The City of Hartford Animal Shelter is a high kill shelter giving dogs only 10 days to find a forever home or they are euthanized. Kenway’s Cause donations are used to provide the dogs with necessary items during their stay at the shelter. All of these dogs are picked up off the streets of Hartford as “strays”. Most of them have never known the kindness of a human, a regular meal or the warmth of a bed. For many, they are being given their first bone, first toy, first kiss and first belly rub while at the shelter. We like to think of their stay in the shelter as their transition time but the reality is that the shelter environment is scary for them. Anything we can do to ease their anxiety while they await their fate is the least we can do. We also support adoptive families and rescue organizations should a dog adopted from the shelter have pre-existing medical conditions or even behavior issues. Our goal is to provide relief to help with treatment and/or rehabilitation. And last but certainly not least, Kenway’s Cause donations allow us to provide medical care for dogs that need immediate treatment while in the shelter or would otherwise be euthanized. We have paid for emergency surgeries, x-rays, ultrasounds, various tests and different forms of treatment. The City does not pay for the immediate medical attention and treatment many of these dogs require so the only option prior to the existence of Kenway’s Cause was to euthanize them. In summary, Kenway’s Cause is determined to do whatever we can in the best interest of these dogs. We become so attached to each and every dog that comes through the shelter.
