The following dogs are available for adoption from the Newtown pound, which is located at the end of Ethan Allen Road (behind the transfer station).

TAZ is a 2â3-year-old male pit bull. Taz is a great dog that enjoys being a loyal sidekick and buddy. He is a strong dog who would require an owner that can handle this young boy and would not do well in a home with small dogs. He loves to run and jump, but he can be as lazy as your family after a Thanksgiving feast. This is the perfect dog for someone looking to go for a nice walk and play ball, or read a good book with.

LEO is a 1â2-year-old male pit bull. Leo has gone through some basic training and has a very playful personality. He has a very cute face and brilliant markings. Young and energetic sums up Leo pretty well. Pound officials are not sure how he is with cats, but he seems to want to play with other easy-going dogs.

WINSTON, a 4-year-old Jack Russell-mix, shows signs of being abused. He can be a bit hand-shy but pound volunteers and officials have been working on him. Once he becomes attached to someone he is an absolute sweetheart. He loves to go for walks â so much so that heâs lost quite a few extra pounds since heâs been at the shelter. Winston would like a quiet home where he can get out for walks and be the center of your attention. Heâs the perfect size for an older person looking for a low-key companion.

MAX is a 2-3-year-old Shar-Pei. He came to the pound with an extremely irritating eye condition which made it difficult for him to see, and is very wary around strangers. He recently had surgery to correct the problem, which seems to have put a bit of extra pep in his step. As he adjusts to life with better vision and less pain, Max likes to take long walks and play with his toys. Like many in his breed, Max tends to be independent. In other words, heâs never going to be an outgoing, lab-type dog, but once heâs comfortable with a person he likes nothing more than to put his head in his or her lap and nap. Heâll make a great companion for someone looking for a loyal, low-key friend.

If you wish to adopt, please call Newtown Animal Control at 203-426-6900 or Canine Advocates at 203-426-5327.

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.
