Pet Food Assistance

Our pet food assistance program ensures that pets in our community are being properly fed by distributing free pet food to qualified residents of Windham County only. This program is for qualified, low-income applicants only. Please stop by the shelter to apply.

Pet Behavior Counseling

Sometimes pets don't behave as we'd like them to! The staff at WCHS can help. We'll gladly answer any questions you have about pet behavior. And if your dog barks excessively or your cat is not using its litter box, we'll help you understand and work with those problem behaviors too.

Community Education

The best way to prevent animal abuse and homelessness is to educate people, especially children, to respect animals and care for them properly. WCHS offers educational presentations to local schools and community groups. These sessions may be held at your location or at the shelter. Topics include pet care, the pet-human connection, basic training, dog bite prevention and more. A donation of money or of items from our wish list is appreciated.
