Vermont Paws & Boots 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 Militar

y 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.

Happy Holidays & a big THANK YOU to everyone who has had a part in rebuilding the new training facility. We have come a long ways in a short time. I also know there is still so much more to do. I for one am excited to see what we can accomplish in year 2. I have become better over the years knowing ~ time is “PRECIOUS” ~ and we must not take these special “MOMENTS” for granted. So please stick with me and continue to support this life saving program and I promise this facility will be even more amazing in 2025! Michelle 🐾🎄🐕‍🦺🇺🇸

Another “🚪” closer to getting the Living Quarters done. Last week the front siding on the entrance was put up and the holes & Sono tubes were dug & placed for the deck foundation.

I heard this song, well part of it several weeks back and the few words I heard caught my attention. Doing what I’ve done and currently do I am well aware that all those who take this journey will understand this song as well. But together, we are always stronger. One thing that will never change with those who have worn our nations uniforms is we will do all we can to keep each other safe and leave no one behind. So if you know someone who I can help let me know. If you know someone who is hurting reach out. A friendly hello and a five minute conversation can save a life. Please don’t say you’ll “call them tomorrow”, tomorrow is never promised. On behalf of everyone who has been part of my program, thank you Jelly Roll for putting these words to lyrics. 🇺🇸🐾🐕‍🦺

Santa Paws Photo Update: I spoke with Dan this afternoon and he’s hoping to have a few sets done tonight & more tomorrow, but everybody should hopefully have them (if all goes smoothly) by Saturday ~ via the email you provided! Like you all, I am very excited to see them. Dan takes the time needed to make sure these are the best photos possible for you and your family. For those who didn’t know he volunteers his time, equipment, etc. for us to make this happen. He’s definitely on Santa’s good list 💙🎅🐾📸

THANK YOU to everyone who took part in our 2 nd. Santa Paws photo shoot & craft fair yesterday. From the beautiful day ~ to a trg. facility full of volunteers, vendors, and customers. A massive spread of gift baskets for the raffle ~ to a break room turned into a Christmas scene even Santa and Mrs. Claus was proud of. It was a great day🎄 We also want to keep improving in all areas of our events. One issue we know happened yesterday was the color / tint of the printed photos. Please accept our apologies. We’re not sure why it happened. Possibly bad ink or we need a new printer? What I do know is after our photographer does his magic you will all get multiple beautiful digital prints in the next few days (link emailed to you) that we hope you will love. All my volunteers and I want to make every fundraising event the best it can. So if anyone has any suggestions and/or concerns please call me, message me, or email me direct and I will do everything I can to make things right and take your feedback to our crew to improve on what we are doing. We are all Volunteers doing our best. Thank you all for another successful event and Happy holidays. Michelle 🐾🐕‍🦺🇺🇸
