RCHS 2022 membership drive

The Rutland County Humane Society 2022 membership drive is now underway! The generosity of our members allows us to care for the homeless animals who come to us throughout the year. Through August, we have had 548 cats and kittens come through our doors, surpassing the 440 we cared for through August in 2020. Your membership helps to provide things like vaccines, parasite protection, spay/neuter surgery, microchips and more. It allows us to be there for each animal and provide them with what they need to grow into healthy and loved pets. If you would like to support the work of the Rutland County Humane Society, please consider becoming a member, or renewing your membership. You can do so by visiting rchsvt.org or calling 802-483-9171. Thank you to all of our members who have continued to support the work we do for the animals.

‘Stone in Love’

October 30, 2024
I have a poignant memory involving the song “Stone in Love,” released by the band Journey in 1981. I can’t tell you the exact date of my memory, but it probably coincided with the popularity of the aforementioned song, likely around my sophomore year of high school.  The memory revolves around a weekend night in…
