We have received numerous inquiries related to the reports of dogs being killed in the Town of Sheldon in the past week and thought it made sense to share more broadly that the Sheriff's Office does not currently provide police services to the Town of Sheldon.

Although we share the public's concers with this matter, we have not been involved with the investigation and as such, have no information to share. Please direct any inquiries or comments to the Vermont State Police.
