About Us An impromptu group of concerned citizens met in December of ’06 to discuss the deteriorating condition of the Town of Groton Animal Control Facility and how they could improve things. A follow-up meeting was held in January of ’07 and the participants decided to form a non-profit organization whose goals would be to:
• Inform Groton citizens of the need for a new facility • Get a referendum on the November ’07 ballot for bond moneys for a new structure • Provide continuing additional financial and physical support to the animal facility when needed.
The organization was named the Groton Animal Foundation Inc.(GAF). GAF became incorporated in March of ’07 and in June of the same year, received its 501 (c) (3) tax exempt status.
After a great deal of publicity by GAF to inform the public, Town Council and Town Representatives and in addition, a pledge from GAF to try and raise $200,000 toward the building of a new facility, a bond was placed on the ballot for $1.7 million dollars to build a new facility. The citizens of the Town of Groton approved the bond and the beautiful new facility is now in operation.
