Did you know that the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) offers a “Spay The Mom” program? Even better, the program is simple and free! If you’re a Rutland County resident, and have a mom dog or cat with babies, you can bring the whole litter of kittens or puppies to us! In exchange, RCHS will schedule an appointment to “Spay The Mom,” as well as get her updated on rabies and distemper vaccines, all at no charge. The kittens and puppies will be adopted into loving new homes after being spayed and neutered. Please help spread the word if you know of a female cat or dog with kittens or puppies! For more info, please call the Adoption Center at 802-483-6700.
Let RCHS help you find homes for your kittens and puppies

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. On my morning walk in my frequent birding spot – my “patch,” as birders call it –I heard the sharp double-noted tune: “Look! Look!…
