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.

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation to everyone who has reached out, changed their training appointments, and stopped over to check on my Sister (Sandy) and her family as they process this. The loss of a loved one is always hard but the unexpected & sudden loss of their son ~ for a parent I can’t even amagine how devastating this is. This past week I have witnessed this, the pain my sister and her family are experiencing, and knowing they must now endure this unbearable pain and navigate their lives without Bailey. I know they are strong and they will find a way in the weeks and months to come. Thank you Michelle 😢

I can’t say enough great things about Lundgren Subaru of Bennington and their team. From a chance meeting when we were training our service dog teams two years and stopped in to their show room as become a great partnership & supporter in our community. No the staff didn’t freak out and say NO DOGS in the show room, these are new cars…. they greater us with open arms. Since then we have continue to visit them with our SD teams in training and they have come to our facility. They have been a supporter of us since day one and I can’t thank Joe, Josh and everyone there enough for this. So please help them as well when looking for a new vehicle 🐾🚗! Michelle 🐾🇺🇸💙

Looking to borrow a hand jack / pallet jack / like picture to move a large 2 door cooler at the training facility. We tried a large furniture dolly and didn’t work. Can anyone help with one of these for an hour that is local to Bennington? Asking in hopes someone has one kicking around a garage before we see about renting 🇺🇸🐾. Thank you Michelle

What a great gift for an entire family (2 & 4 legged) to smile, spend time together, and build a stronger bond together 😊🐾. Did you know 100% of your private dog training fee with Awesome PAWS Dog Training Services goes directly back into our program. Paws helping Paws 🐾💙🇺🇸

Have a pet parent in your circle? Do they have a fur child they’re looking for help with? This could be their perfect present from you. Training together is an incredible gift for all pet families! Just a thought and if you like it, stop at the training facility and make a family smile 🐾❄️

Just as Dan said thank you to everyone who had a part in making our Santa Paws photo shoot & craft fair a success. From our amazing vendors who stepped up on short notice, to the volunteers who worked hard to make this happen, to all those in our surrounding communities who came and purchased from our vendors, had photos with Santa Paws and his helpers, shared homemade Coco, helped fill our toys for tots box, and most importantly to Santa and his elf for taking time out of his busy schedule to round up his reindeer and make the trip to Vermont, Thank You and we’ll see you next year. 🐾🎅🇺🇸

Vermont Paws & Boots Santa Shoot 2025 has ended. Thank you all who came out. Those who got photos done watch your email the next couple of days, and don't forget to check your junk folder for [email protected] And watch for us next year!
