Vermont Paws & Boots

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.

So mark your calendars for this Saturday (7/12/25) for a once in a lifetime experience ~ knowing that every item purchase will help save the life of a human who served in uniform & a rescue dog in need.

5 years and 23 days ago I closed on the sale of my home. A home I worked 15 + years to save up for and build for me & K9 Casko, complete with his own pool and paw print doorbell. But it was time for a new dream after retiring. To build a service dog training facility and living quarters and continue to do what I do well ~ helping others have a better life and training dogs. I searched and search for the perfect place and on April 21, 2023 we closed on what was refered to as Camelot Village ~ an abandoned property for over 5 years and one building on site ~ a which would become the training facility & living quarters had been abandoned 7 years. Today, after 2 years, 2 months, and 12 days later we did it! We got our full certificate of occupancy for the training facility and now the living quarters and it’s no longer a dream, it’s reality! We still have a long ways to go to rebuild this property and together we can. Thank you to everyone who believed in me, my dream, my vision for this property, and trusting when I say I will never give up no matter what’s thrown at me. Tonight, with the help off a fellow veteran, K9 Casko’s paw print doorbell is once again up and I know he was watching from heaven 🐾🇺🇸💙
