Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week from the Rutland County Humane Society! We would like to take this time to thank all of our volunteers who graciously dedicate their time to support our shelter and ensure that our animals cared for, safe, and loved. From shelter volunteers to foster families, and everything in-between, we couldn’t do it without you. Though our program has been on hold due to Covid-19, we appreciate our volunteers sticking with us, and we hope to have our volunteer program back up and running later this year. We can’t wait to see you all, and neither can our animals! Interested in volunteering at RCHS? Contact Sue at 802-483-9171 ext. 204.
