The Humane Society of Chittenden County (HSCC) is a private, independent nonprofit organization based in South Burlington, Vermont, focused on improving animal welfare and strengthening the human-animal bond. Established in 1901, HSCC operates a dedicated facility that provides animal care and adoption services, care for cats and dogs as well as small animals like rabbits and ferrets, and outreach through education and public awareness. The organization serves Vermont’s most populous county, Chittenden, along with Grand Isle County, relying on program fees and community generosity for support rather than government funding. Each year, HSCC accepts hundreds of animals and welcomes thousands of visitors, emphasizing compassionate care, prevention, and intervention in its work. The organization collaborates with other local and regional animal welfare groups to advance its mission.
