Meet Starlight, aka our rising Star! Star was raised with a family for two years before she was surrendered to the shelter in SC with no name.

Meet Cinnamon Bun aka Bunny! At approximately 1-year old and 25 lbs, Bunny is our pint-size hound/spaniel? mix (best guess). We have been so lucky to foster her since she arrived in VT on November 3. A bit shy at first, after a day or two of getting settled, sleeping her little heart out, and feeling more comfortable, she truly is lovely and a blast to be around. We think she is the sweetest kiddo! Once she connects to her people, she will use her voice to communicate in the most adorable and endearing way. She doesn’t really ‘bark’ and will usually retreat when feeling uncomfortable or unsure. We have been teaching her to retreat behind her person until she feels safe or is welcomed …

In addition to being fully house-trained and …
Percy has quite the story to tell! This boy has come a long way since he got loose after his owner passed away, was struck by a car, and finally captured the day after Thanksgiving last year. An amazing foster family took Percy in after being on the run for over two weeks, offering him a safe, quiet resting place, medical care, and lots of love and support throughout his recovery. He was scraped and bruised, and emaciated, needing 5-6 very small feedings a day to help him survive and regain weight. He was completely shut down. We learned that, in his former life, Percy was part of a sled dog operation and sadly lived life on a chain outside year-round, having very limited contact …

Are you looking for a new best friend and adventure partner? Lucky Ducky is searching for a family to call his own. His foster Mom cannot express just how amazing he is. He had a vet appointment for a pesky ear infection and was phenomenal (the vet techs adore him). We went to the feed store for the first time and he walked perfect on leash, sniffed, never tried to take anything off the shelves, he even got to pick out a lovely new toy….although he couldn’t quite understand how everyone walked by him as he sat gazing with those big “pet me puppy eyes”. I then had to run into a few stores and he happily laid down to nap the entire time I …
Calling all hound lovers! Tucker, our Black & Tan Coonhound mix, came all the way from an overcrowded shelter in South Carolina to find a family to love and call his own. While Tucker does not bay or howl which is typical of hounds, his voice carries when he gets excited so he is not a good candidate for apartment living. He would love a home with some space and freedom of a fenced in yard to romp off-leash. If you are looking for a walking companion, look no further as Tucker walks nicely on leash and looks forward to daily walks with neighbors and canine friends. Then he is quite content to lounge and snooze on the couch for the rest of the day. …

We are now introducing our little gal ORCHID who is ready to meet a permanent family of her own. She came into our partner shelter in South Carolina as a stray and surprisingly nobody came to claim her. She’s a beautiful little lady and was lucky to spend some time in a temporary foster home in South Carolina while we made all the vet and transport arrangements to have her come to Vermont to join one of our foster families here. This has given her the chance to unwind, decompress and also gives us a bit of time to learn about her and what her needs are for an ideal match with family. What do we know about little ORCHID? She has the sweetest little …
