However, you can run a commercial kennel in a business zone with a special permit through the town planning and zoning department. You can have horses, livestock, pigs, chickens, or cattle. Don't assume that just because you see a raccoon during the day it is sick. Even healthy raccoons are active during the day, especially in spring and early summer when they are taking care of a family. I saw a coyote in my yard.
Coyotes now live and breed in every town in Connecticut.
They are extremely adaptable and comfortable living in close proximity to residential areas. Rarely there have been reports of coyotes attacking small dogs. Coyotes eat a variety of foods including rodents, birds, fruit, and berries and will also eat food provided by people including spilled bird seed, compost piles, pet foods, or unsecured garbage. If you live in an area frequented by coyotes and you have cats or very small dogs, your pets should be supervised while outdoors. Keeping pets indoors or limiting their time outdoors, especially at night when coyotes are most active is recommended.
