Maddie's Fund will be holding a free pet adoption event throughout the State of VT this coming weekend on both Saturday and Sunday from 10 am-5 pm each day, at participating shelters and rescues.
Maddie's Fund has been doing this successfully for quite some time in large cities or counties across the country. However, this is the first time they've done an entire State in one weekend. (We all know VT is unique!) The event applies to DOGS & CATS ONLY.
Homeward Bound, Addison County's Humane Society in Middlebury will be one of the shelters hosting the event. If you go to their website www.homewardboundanimals.org you will find all kinds of information to link to and you can view on line photos of the dogs and cats that are available for adoption at Homeward Bound.
You may go to any of the participating shelters to adopt a pet. As the shelters are reimbursed by Maddie's Fund, application forms must be filled out first for record keeping purposes. All pets will have been spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Some shelters have brought in dogs from States with high kill shelters to adopt out. This means more lives saved. (VT does not have an over population of dogs that is so common elsewhere.)
Please check out the Homeward Bound website and their Facebook page for information. (Or you can email me with questions.)
