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.

Ain’t no party like a Patch party
June 4, 2025
I always ski on June 1st. Some years, the lifts are running, and I’m surrounded by a thousand of my closest friends and fellow ski bums, the line wrapping around the base lodge. Some of us are there for the bragging rights, others for the free t-shirt, and some time at the Umbrella Bar. There’s…
Drawing on inspiration
June 4, 2025
I know it was second grade because I remember the classroom. And I know what teacher was involved because I never forgot her or the moment I’m about to highlight. The year was 1974. I don’t have many memories from that stage of my life, but the following was poignant enough to have possibly set…
Celestial creature: Indigo bunting
June 4, 2025
There is nothing like the royal blue of an indigo bunting. In the Northeast, they arrive fashionably late to the spring fling, behind the vanguard of migrating warblers and other songbirds.
