Humane Society of Chittenden County

Humane Society of Chittenden County Fostering the compassionate treatment of animals in our community and beyond.
(546)

The Humane Society of Chittenden County (HSCC) was founded in 1901 and serves Chittenden & Grand Isle Counties. Each year, we welcome more than 1,400 animals and as many as 15,000 people to our 12,000 square foot facility in South Burlington. We at the Humane Society of Chittenden County believe that supporting, strengthening and sustaining the bonds between people and pets improves the well-being

of individuals, families and communities. Our mission is to ensure that every pet has a loving home and that every pet owner has access to the resources they need to give those pets happy, healthy lives. We accomplish this by...
-Rehoming animals in need
-Helping pet owners keep their beloved pets through several surrender prevention
services, offered free of charge
-Providing humane education programs to kids, teens, and adults
-Assisting law enforcement in animal cruelty investigations
-Transporting hundreds of animals each year from high-volume shelters in the
South so they have a greater chance at finding a home

Watching them groom one another; the way they play and keep each other company; the best-of-both-worlds personality combos ... There's a lot to love about bonded cat buddies! 💕

Cats are considered "bonded" when they've developed a special attachment to one another and show signs of distress when separated.

HSCC currently has 6 (!!) bonded pairs of BFFs (Best Feline Friends) looking for homes - learn more about these dynamic duos at hsccvt.org/Cats 😸😸

Wishing you had a kitten to cuddle? You're in luck, because we still have lots of little meows looking for homes!

Please join us in celebrating the incredible Dana, our Programs Supervisor, on her 3rd HSCC-iversary!🥳🎉

If you've ever met Dana, you know that she's an absolute powerhouse: extremely hard-working (often doing 10 things at once), highly skilled, and incredibly knowledgeable about all things animal welfare.

She’s the first to step in when vulnerable animals need help (often fostering tiny bottle babies herself!) and always goes the extra mile to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Her unyielding dedication to animals in need is an inspiration to us all, and we count ourselves very lucky to have her on our team!

Thank you for all of your hard work, Dana - you make HSCC better every day, and we’re so grateful for everything you do! 🐾
