Animal Shelters in Vermont
Vermont has 43 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 12 counties. The largest group are rescue organizations. Williston has more than any other Vermont city, followed by South Burlington and St Johnsbury. There is no shortage of choice in Vermont — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.
Vermont has 43 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
Williston has more than anywhere else in Vermont, followed by South Burlington, St Johnsbury and Burlington. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
Chittenden, Caledonia and Windsor counties have the most, though listings reach 12 of Vermont's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
