My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you love shepherds you must meet Alyson!! Alyson is 5-6 years old and has spent her life making puppies for someone to profit from in a commercial breeding facility. Alyson is a very sweet girl but knows nothing about the world around her. She had a blast with one of our volunteers on a hike and will enjoy a home that hikes as well. She is very sweet, a little shy but warms up very quickly and is eager for attention! Alyson might do best in a home with another calm dog to help teach her what it is like to have a home and people who love her. Alyson is an amazing girl and we can not wait for updates of her first couch cuddles, her first bed, her first everything!!

More about this shelter

We're a small shelter in Vermont covering 11 towns in Windsor County. We have a small but very dedicated staff, and an active volunteer program. We have been rescuing cats and dogs since our inception in 1941, when a wonderful woman turned her barn into a shelter. Since then we've grown quite a bit and have recently redone our entire kennel area - we have sun tubes for natural light, radiant heat in the floors, a music program and an aromatherapy program. All through the generous donations of the public. Our cats live comfortably in community cat rooms where they are free to roam and climb and play - one cat room even has a fully fenced outdoor enclosure. We have acres of field for dog walking, and a small agility course set up in an outdoor kennel. We have a large puppy room, and a larger still puppy play area outside.
