Help Dawson Heal – he needs a foster family!

This sweet boy needs a loving foster home for roughly 90-days during his recovery. Preferably a first-floor home and someone who is home to provide short walks several times a day.

August Adoptions Wrap-Up!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Clear the Shelters last month. Because of your support, 68 pets found their forever homes in August!

We know that this update is a little late. August was a blur of Clear the Shelter celebrations and the never-ending adventures of shelter life!
Now that we have had a chance to catch our breath and check in on some of the animals adopted last month. Many have already settled in beautifully, while others are still finding their routines, and in the process, discovering the simple comforts of a place to truly call their own.

We’re so grateful to our amazing community for opening their hearts and homes. Every adoption means a fresh start, and we couldn’t do it without you.

🦆 What a Quacking Success! 🦆

Thank you to everyone who flocked together to support this year’s RCHS Duck Derby! Because of you, we “adopted" out 3,531 ducks and raised over $9,488 for the animals in our care. That’s absolutely egg-cellent!

A big, feathered shout-out to all the donors, duck adopters, and helpers who made the day swim along so smoothly. We couldn’t have pulled this off without your quack-tastic support.

And here are the lucky ducks who waddled into the prizes:

1st – #2389 – Element Nail Salon’s, Stuart Deliduka, is graciously splitting his prize and donating $100 back to RCHS.

2nd – #134 – Pam Larson and she is graciously donating her $100 prize back to RCHS.

3rd – #5181 – Jack and Mary Ann Healey and they are graciously donating their $50 prize back to RCHS.

4th – #2019 – Jackie Gauthier and she is graciously donating her $25 prize back to RCHS.

Last – #571 – Sharon Hughes and she is graciously donating her $50 prize back to RCHS.

From the first duck to the last, every single one helps us provide care, shelter, and hope to countless animals throughout Rutland County.

Thank you for making a splash with us at RCHS!
