Who We Are
Vermont Pet Guardians is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue that is deeply community-rooted and dedicated to being a safe haven for at-risk cats and dogs across Vermont.
From rehabilitation to emergency intakes, we meet animals where they are and ensure they receive the care they need.
We are strongly committed to advocating for animals and working towards improving their welfare across Vermont.
