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

SURPRISE! We're excited to be hosting one *last* Adopt-A-Thon this year, and it starts Tuesday 9/15! 🤩❣

Adopting just one animal frees up space + resources for more animals who desperately need them - that's .

Join HSCC and the ASPCA to help more animals find homes with WAIVED adoption fees for all pets aged 6 months & older through Tuesday 9/22!

Adoptable Chonkette Alert! 😻 10-year-old Princess Sophia the First is a big beautiful gal with a *purrsonality* to match: she's chirpy, sweet, and social, but she can be a bit particular about how and when she receives affection (as is her royal prerogative!).

At 18 lbs., Princess Sophia needs to slim down to a healthier size, so she needs a new bestie who can help her with her weight loss goals.

Learn more about this special senior on our website (hsccvt.org/Cats), and visit our adoption center to meet her! ❤

PS: As a , Princess Sophia's adoption includes a gift bag + $50 gift certificate to the HSCC Shelter Shop courtesy of our friends at NorthCountry Federal Credit Union ✨
