Can we get some love (and shares?) for one of our oldest residents, Xena?? While we love this sweet senior, she's been here far too long and deserves to spend her golden years in a home o her very own!

"Hi! My name is Xena and I’m a 9-year-old spayed female Hound Mix. I came to Lucy Mackenzie after things didn’t quite work out for me in my previous home – don’t let that fool you, though! I’m a really super, super adorable gal, and I have soo much to say, as well as love to give – my voice is as big as my heart! I’d do best with people that are dog-experienced (especially with adorable and charming hounds!) and live in a home and location where my vocal-skills are appreciated. I could live easily with older dog-savvy children, too. I definitely cannot live with cats or small animals, though – my canine instincts will likely kick in, I’m sorry to say. Anyway, if you’d like to meet me or learn more about me, stop by or give my friends here a call at 802-484-5829. Who knows? I may be just the one for you!"

Happy Caturday courtesy of Jake! Yes, cute little Jake is most certainly an adorable canine, but he celebrates Caturday along with all of us! Give us a call at 802-484-5829 or email [email protected] to learn more!

Get ready to fall in love with Quigley! This playful, loving and adorable 13-year-old Bengal (yes, he’s really 13-years-old!), who has a perpetually worried-looking face, came to Lucy Mackenzie when his beloved human passed away. He’s so very ready to find his new home, where he will be loved and adored! Give us a call at 802-484-5829 to learn more about this sweetheart, or stop by during our open hours to meet him!

Important to remember this time of year!

It’s that time of year again! Blue-green algae blooms pose a huge risk to our pets causing severe illness and, in severe cases, death. Made up of microscopic bacteria, blue-green algae is a normal part of the ecosystem in Vermont’s bodies of water. Read our blog to learn more about what symptoms look like and how to prevent toxicity in the first place: https://bit.ly/3wCND6e

FOUND CAT
Young female found on Main St. in Ludlow, VT approx. 1 month ago. She is now safe and sound at Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society in West Windsor, VT. Contact us directly at 802-484-5829 for further information.
(*Proof of ownership is required to claim all stray animals.)

We LOVE these two sweeties, Blossom and Hector! Both of them have come such a long way since being in our care, but both require lots of patience, acceptance and calm. Our hope (as it is for all our adoptables!) is to find each of them the right home and one that is well-matched and suited to their personality and needs. They both came to us after living their lives on their own, and are independent felines that have become more and more trusting of human interaction. Hector would likely benefit from being an only-cat; Blossom is OK on her own, but would also be happy to live with other kind felines. If you have a home and lifestyle that may suit either Blossom or Hector, please give us a call at 802-484-5829 to learn more, or stop by Tuesday - Saturday, 12-4PM to inquire.

Happy Caturday courtesy of Herschel! This sweetheart came to us as a stray a while ago, and since his arrival, he’s come such a long way - we’ve been so pleased to see him blossom! He’s still finding his way in this world, and a calm and understanding household will certainly benefit him. Stop by Tuesday-Saturday, 12-4PM, to meet him and all of our adoptables, or give us a call at 802-484-5829 to learn more!

TGIF and TGFV…that’s short for Thank Goodness for Volunteers! We had a great visit with a volunteer group from the Bank of America this morning. They were quick to lend a hand with anything and everything - floors, windows, laundry, dishes and, of course, snuggling with the animals! The shelter looks cleaner than ever! Our sincere thanks to them paying us a visit and offering a helping hand.
