Day Before the Rainbow Rescue and Adoption - VT transport stop Animal rescue in Burlington, VT

Day Before The Rainbow is a group of dedicated animal lovers who volunteer their time to help the otherwise helpless animals in our area.
We rescue animals which are about to be euthanized in high-kill shelters. We are a strictly foster based rescue and all animals are kept in private foster homes until adopted.
We transport our own animals to various locations on the east coast, at no additional charge to the adopter.
Please contact us today to meet any one of our adoptable animals!
