A Canine Gem

The Humane Society of Chittenden County holds the view that improving the relationships between people and their pets enhances the wellbeing of the individuals, families, and communities.

Through rescue, rehabilitation, education, and adoption, our organization is committed to the physical and mental rehabilitation of former puppy mill and underprivileged English bulldogs.

As a small rescue, we rely on foster families and volunteers. We rescue dogs from puppy mills in Ohio several times a year. These dogs, many of them are purebred, have spent their whole lives in cages.

The goal of N.G.A., a non-profit greyhound adoption group, is to house ex-racers, neuter each one, and integrate them into the local communities. As they unwind and acclimate to their golden years, dogs are welcomed into our kennel and socialized with our volunteers and other Greyhounds.

With the ultimate objective of finding them good, permanent homes within the community, Franklin County Humane Society (doing business as Franklin County Animal Rescue) supports the health, welfare, and humane treatment of animals in Northwestern Vermont and offers them temporary sanctuary.
