Featured Non-Profit: Humane Society of Chittenden County
Giving back to the community is one of Houndstooth's core values. We've learned from personal experience how wonderful the pet community can be when you're in need. So it's important to us to help whenever and wherever possible.
Since 2006, we've volunteered for Chase Away K9 Cancer (a cause near and dear to our hearts) and even founded a fun run (the Chase Away 5K) to help raise money and awareness for canine cancer. We've also volunteered for international rescue groups like Galgos del Sol, as well as local pet rescues. When we can, we donate items to local shelters — and throughout the year as raffle/auction item contributions.
And once a month, we shine the light on a different animal or pet charity, to educate the Houndstooth community on important resources and rescues you might not otherwise know about —but will be glad you do now!
HSCC is an independent, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that receives no city, state or federal funding.
Founded in 1901, HSCC currently has nearly 12,000 square feet of animal care and adoption space, where they take in over 1,400 animals each year. The majority of these animals are cats and dogs, but they also provide care and services for rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs.
