Who Is CT Pet Projects? 
We, Joelle and Liz, founded CTPP in February, 2006 when we began as companion animal volunteers ourselves. We are long-time pet enthusiasts who wanted to make a difference in the lives of homeless pets but struggled with how to go about it. We began to apply and visit shelters in nearby cities but were never quite sure where our help was needed most.
While we were willing to roll up our sleeves (and our pant legs if necessary!) and run around with animals, clean kennels, scrub floors... we also wanted to put our professional skills to work on behalf of the beautiful animals with whom we instantly bonded with each shelter visit.
We designed CTPP and CTPetProjects.org to act as a portal to animal welfare in CT and an easy way for our fellow volunteers to discover where they can get involved and how they can have the greatest impact.
Please contact us with any inquries or comments you might have. We look forward to working with you!
