Ansonia Animal Control Officer recognized for her dedication to job

National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week

Jeanie Roslonowski

ANSONIA - Mayor David S. Cassetti and Police Chief Wayne Williams were pleased to receive a letter of recognition for Animal Control Officer Jeanie Roslonowski for her hard work and dedication to the profession. (see letter attached)

"National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week is celebrated every year on the second full week of April. This year, it takes place from April 9 to 15. It’s a week when communities are encouraged to learn about what the job of animal control really entails and to be grateful for those who them. In the past, the ‘evil dog-catcher’ was something you would see often in kids’ cartoons, but this depiction only promotes children’s negative perception of the trade. In reality, animal control officers risk their lives to protect both animals that are sick or injured and humans from animals that may be violent or have contagious diseases."

Thank you Jeanie for all that you do!
