Happy 4th of July from BEVS!

We hope everyone has a fun, relaxing, and safe holiday with family and friends.

As you celebrate, please remember that fireworks can be very stressful for pets. Keep your pets safely indoors in a calm, secure environment, and make sure they have identification tags or a microchip in case they become frightened.

Have a wonderful and safe Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙

What a paw-some day at the Walk for Animals in Montpelier! 🐾💙

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Central Vermont Humane Society and help make this year's event such a success. From the adorable dog trick contest to the creative costume contest, there were smiles everywhere you looked.

Events like these remind us how special our community is and how much we can accomplish when we come together to support animals in need. Every step taken and every dollar raised helps provide care, shelter, and hope for homeless pets waiting for their forever families.

Thank you to all the participants, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who made this wonderful day possible. We can't wait to see you next year!

☀️🐾 Summer Safety Reminder: Cyanobacteria Awareness 🐾☀️

As the weather warms up, many of us are heading to the water with our pups. Unfortunately, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) can pose a serious risk to pets. Keep an eye out for warning signs posted near lakes and ponds, and if your pet seems “off” after swimming — vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, drooling, difficulty walking, or seizures — seek veterinary care immediately.

One helpful way to keep your pets safe this summer is by checking the Cyanobacteria Interactive Map monitored by the Vermont Department of Health before heading out for a swim. While the map relies heavily on self-reporting and may not always be 100% up to date, it can still be a useful tool when deciding where to bring your dog to swim safely.

Stay safe and enjoy summer adventures responsibly! 💙
