Connecticut SB00318, passed in 2026, creates a program to help domestic violence victims place their companion animals with rescue organizations. The State Veterinarian will identify contact persons accessible by phone, text, or email to assist victims. These contacts will coordinate with animal rescue organizations, dog pounds, and regional animal control facilities to provide 24-hour placement services. The bill also mandates the creation of a working group to study and recommend ways to stabilize funding for this program.
