Humane societies update their adoption, sheltering procedures

Rutland County Humane Society

Update from the Rutland County Humane Society

We wanted to touch base and let you know how things are going at RCHS during these times.  A big shout out to everyone who has offered to be foster parents for RCHS! We currently have 99 animals in foster care! That’s amazing.

At the shelter on Stevens Road in Pittsford, we only have 24 animals. What an amazing feeling.  We do have room for stray animals, but please call ahead. We also have room for owner surrenders, especially as a result of COVID 19. Please call us so we can discuss your specific needs. We are here 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. But the Adoption Center remains closed for adoptions. With so many animals in foster care, we have none up for adoption at this time.

We will let everyone know when the Adoption Center is open again. We continue to have strict cleaning protocols in place and are social distancing and wearing masks. We are accepting donations of towels, blankets, sheets, comforters and items for the animals. Please leave them in the donation bin outside the front door of the Adoption Center. Knowing our community is there for us, during these challenging times, and always, means a lot to us. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

Rutland County Humane Society is located at 765 Stevens Road in Pittsford. For more information call  (802) 483-6700 or visit rchsvt.org.
