Our mission: Rebuilding Heroes one Paw Print at a Time. Veterans ⭐️ First Responders ⭐️ Rescue Dogs

Vermont Paws & Boots was established to assist our Military Veterans & First Responders who have sustained various disabilities through their service to our country and communites. Vermont Paws & Boots partners rescue dogs with individuals in need and trains them to work as a team. Creating a bond between these two allows for both to once again thrive. Vermont Paws & Boots was founded by a Military Veteran with over 30 years of Police experience including 11 years as an award winning K-9 handler/instructor. Michelle has just recently retired from the State of Vermont after serving 22 years as a State Trooper. Due to her passion for working dogs and those who serve she saw a need for a program such as this to exist in Vermont. Vermont historically has the most deployed military personnel and fallen veterans per capita. National studies have also shown that Police officers and Firefighters can be equally affected by the trauma they are exposed to on a daily basis. Michelle recognized this situation and used her training and experience as an opportunity to fulfill her passion assisting Veterans, First responders, and canines.

We are honored to host the Bennington Fire Department during a TRAINING EXERCISE tonight (10/28/26) from approx. 5 pm to 8 pm as they continue to improve their rescue skills. This scenario-based training will include them deploying to our facility (fire trucks w/ lights on) and using their ladder trucks to enter the former antique center via the second floor windows to rescue victims (roll players). So don’t be alarmed this is a PLANNED TRAINING EXERCISE! We ask anyone not directly involved stay off the property. Thank you Michelle

In the mix of my daily crazy life rebuilding this property while training private clients and their dogs & SDiT teams, I now have the application ready to email out to vendors who would like to come. Again this is small ~ approximately 10 vendors ~ so Santa has space to meet people. Thank you 🐾🐕‍🦺🎅

****** UPDATE ****** I’m sad to announce that our Volunteer work crew will temporarily end until spring due to winter almost here. With limited power and no heat in the building it is what it is😳. If we have a warm spell I’ll post here for anyone who want’s a fun evening of demo. After all - it’s free to demo here vs a rage room that cost $ 🤣
