Senior Dog in Need of a Home

June is a loving companion in need of a home. She brightens our days here at Rutland County Humane Society, and she is ready to brighten yours as well!

She is a sweet gal who knows when it's time to play and when it's time to settle in. She is gentle, which is important when giving this gal all the treats she deserves. June is just waiting for a family who is willing to open their heart to a senior gal, could that be you?

If you or someone you know is looking for a pup, share this post or tag them below

Let's get June Home!

Our Pups Are Ready to Celebrate - Cheers for a Cause!

This Fourth of July, however you're celebrating. Whether you're cracking open a cold one, popping the bubbly, or just cheering with an iced tea, save those empties!

Every bottle and can you bring to our drop-off spot (on the side of the building) turns into food, care, and comfort for shelter animals waiting on their new homes.

So go ahead, raise a glass to 250 years of freedom... then recycle it for the pups.
Because nothing says "land of the free" like a shelter dog finally going home.

Cheers, and Happy 4th of July from all of us!

The 4th of July is exciting for us, but it's genuinely one of the hardest nights of the year for dogs.

All that noise and light can trigger real panic, which is why shelters reliably see more lost dogs in the days around the holiday than almost any other time of year.

A few small things can make a big difference:
Give your dog a safe, den-like space to retreat to, keep them indoors with windows and curtains closed to soften the sound and flashing. Make sure to watch for stray fireworks debris, which can be toxic if chewed.

If your dog gets especially anxious, it's worth a quick chat with your vet ahead of time about options that might help.

Here's to a safe holiday for the whole family, two legs and four!
