Benji, 1 year, South Burlington “He is such a sweet and loyal guy that fits in perfectly. He loves people and other dogs and has brought so much joy to our family.” – Caley Wilson Credit: Courtesy
Biscotti, 15 weeks, Burlington “We adopted Biscotti from Island Dog Rescue. He is a great excuse to get outside and go for a walk. We have greeted a lot of our neighbors while walking the neighborhood. Puppies bring a smile to everyone’s face!” – Marcy Carton (Marcy Carton is a Seven Days employee) Credit: Courtesy
Chili 10 months, Milton “He has a quiet calm about him. A real gentleman. His name was originally Chilly but we renamed him Chili because he is so warm and loving. He has been very kind to our elderly dog always letting him go down the stairs first. If Chili is bored all you have to do is turn on the faucet — he loves to watch the water flow.” – Deb Languasco Credit: Courtesy
Clover, 10 weeks, Essex “She is a feisty furball, full of energy, and despite her small size she is leaping through the air and launching herself on top of our beds and dressers, and occasionally into boxes she can’t escape.” – James Layman Credit: Courtesy
Duke, 7 years, Milton “Duke is super food motivated. He gets really excited for his daily allowance of Beggin’ Strips. He even dances for them.” – Ada Blow and Tim Lyman Credit: Courtesy
Earl, 7 years, Burlington “He is seven, but he is young at heart. I’ve never seen a cat go so crazy for catnip. His favorite place to be is snuggling on my chest, preferably up on my shoulders if he can get there.” – Rachel Cronin Credit: Courtesy
Ellis 8 years, Burlington “Ellis is a big flirt, using his big blue eyes to get treats and love from friends and strangers alike. Even though he is a mature dog, the Vermont life is totally new to him. It’s great watching him learn to walk on ice, play in streams and enjoy mud. The cherry on top of his cuteness is that when he feels safe and relaxed, he sleeps with his tongue sticking out.” – Kristina Pentek Credit: Courtesy
Jack 7 years, Winooski “I’ve always had mixed thoughts on LWDs (Little White Dogs) — they are so cute but have a tendency to be yippy. Jack is a little skittish and is not the biggest fan of our 8-year-old, but otherwise he’s just perfect. He follows me everywhere around the house, he doesn’t bark, he’s just the sweetest little buddy.” – Tay Olson Credit: Courtesy
Joe 8 months, Randolph “Joe is so sweet and loyal and loves to sleep on the bed. He is a fast learner, mastering “sit” and “lie down” very quickly! He’s incredibly mellow, for a puppy, and was initially very afraid of loud noises, and the cat! And that face! He’s so darn cute!” – Kristin Chandler Credit: Courtesy
Lord Weldon 2 or 3-ish years, Burlington “He has a snaggletooth, torn-up ears, gigantic feet, and a real laidback attitude. He will let us dress him up and he has proven to be a road warrior on car trips.” – Meghan Brooks Credit: Courtesy
Mack, 14 weeks, Monkton “He is sweet and cuddly, strong and chill. He likes to have his belly scratched and his big paws shook.” – the Roberts Family (Colby Roberts is a Seven Days employee) Credit: Courtesy
Maggie 5 months, Grand Isle “She keeps my older dogs moving. Keeping them “young”. She is always so happy to be alive!” – Lynda Morgan-Gardiner Credit: Courtesy
Maisy, 6 months, Burlington “Maisy is really smart. Sometimes too smart, which keeps me on my toes. My favorite Maisy trait is when we make eye contact and that’s enough for her to roll over in “belly rub” position.” – Abby Parker Credit: Courtesy
Oreo 10 weeks, Monkton “He has the coolest moves! He can jump so high and walk on his hind legs and bat at toys.” – Laurie Kelliher Credit: Courtesy
Pepper, 7 months, South Burlington “Pepper is a spotted mystery mutt, and we believe she is part dingo and part raccoon.” – Whitney and Seth Coombs Credit: Courtesy
Saul 19 weeks, Waitsfield “Saul is a sweetheart with a wonderful desire to please. It takes him no time at all to learn new tricks. He can also fall sleep absolutely anywhere in absolutely any position.” – Sarah Welch Credit: Courtesy
Sterling 6 weeks, Burlington “The blue eyes just melt me every time I look I to them, and anywhere I go in my studio apartment he goes, and I do mean everywhere!” – Dalton Flint II Credit: Courtesy
Sugar and Cookie, 11 years, White River Jct. “As you can see, they demonstrate proper social distancing!” – Roy Hatch Credit: Courtesy
Xena 3 months, Fairfax “Xena is unusually smart, fast and agile. Just when we think we’ve kitten-proofed, she proves us wrong every time. Her ability to get into trouble is unmatched by any of the many cats we’ve known and loved.” – Sarah Kelly Credit: Courtesy
Zoey 5 months, Richmond “Zoey is a very friendly puppy. She loves little kids and is very gentle with them. Our neighbors have a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old and she likes to play with them. When they pull into the driveway after their adventures she sits by the door wanting to go outside and see them. Credit: Courtesy
Gary, 3 months old, Essex Junction “I already had 4 cats, so there was no real reason for me to adopt a kitten. I saw him on the rescue’s Facebook page and just couldn’t resist his extra toes and adorable little face. He’s already proving to be a fun addition to the herd.” – Diane Sullivan (Diane Sullivan is a Seven Days employee) Credit: Courtesy
