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.

Life in a shell: eastern box turtle
June 25, 2025
As a budding naturalist growing up in the concrete-heavy environs of Boston, I would regularly thumb through my family’s collection of nature books and daydream about the creatures within. One species I was particularly drawn to was the eastern box turtle. These charismatic terrestrial turtles have high-domed shells festooned with colorful yellow or orange markings…
