About this shelter

Canine Protection League in Wilmington, VT

Canine Protection League is a dog rescue based in Wilmington, Vermont, operating as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit within Windham County, where one other animal shelter or rescue is also located; the organization is about 45 miles west of Albany, NY. Guided by the motto "Rescue, Restore, Rehome," it is a small, foster-home-based rural Vermont rescue run entirely by part-time volunteers who care for formerly unwanted and discarded shelter dogs. Adoptions are limited to approved Vermont homes and require a completed application, a review process matching a dog's personality and needs to the adopter's lifestyle, and an in-home visit before approval. The organization also relies on community support through volunteering, fostering, and donations to continue its lifesaving work.
