We require a completed adoption application prior to adoption, but you're welcome to come visit our animals any time we're open. Our fees cover all vaccinations, spay/neuter, worming, flea prevention, microchip, collar and ID tag, and are as follows: Cats - $100, Kittens (8weeks to 6 months) are $125 and up. Senior cats (over 7) are $60. Barn buddies (feral or has litterbox issues)-$40. Dogs - $200 and up, Puppies (8 weeks to 6 months) $300 and up. Senior (8 years and up) $100. Rabbit _$50 (are fixed before adoption) All animals besides feral cats are microchipped. Purebred puppies and adults adoption fees are set per dog. We do not require a home visit, however we will ask for landlord permission if you rent. We rely heavily on vet references, but also ask for personal references.

Our open hours are Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4:30. We sometimes have pets available for meeting at various fundraisers. Please check our web page or facebook page for information on upcoming events.


We are currently open by appointment only with approved applicants. If you would like to see a specific animal or have an approved application on hand please go to our website spfldhumane.org and fill out an application. We keep all approved applications for a year and go though them before we post animals online.

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.
