However, the department also said the shelter has two dogs — a senior pitbull and a 6-month-old husky — that are slated to become available to foster this weekend. 

Anyone who may be interested in fostering either of these dogs is asked to call Animal Control Officer Katie Meskun at (860) 960-6600 before 4 p.m. Thursday.
