Windham County Humane Society
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure the safety and well-being of animals and enhance the relationship between individuals and pets through adoption, education, advocacy, compassion, and the promotion of animal welfare.
Our Commitment to Community
Windham County Humane Society is creating a vibrant, community-centric organization that serves as a vital safety net for pets and their people. By partnering with organizations across the country, we strive to keep pets in their homes whenever possible through our wellness services, food pantry, and pet care assistance programs.
Providing Care and Comfort
We are a proud no-kill shelter, where adoptable animals receive compassionate care for as long as it takes to find their perfect match. Our facility includes a dedicated Pet Wellness Center, and our team is committed to the Five Freedoms for animals, ensuring every resident experiences comfort, health, and the ability to express normal behaviors while they wait for their forever families.
Your Adoption Journey
We believe adoption is a joyful partnership, and our open adoption policy is designed to help you find the right friend for your lifestyle. Our team works hard to make the process transparent and supportive, providing you with medical records, health insurance, and ongoing resources to ensure a successful transition into your home.
Connect With Us
Whether you are ready to open your heart to a new companion or want to learn more about our upcoming events, we invite you to visit our shelter in Brattleboro. Check our website to view our current adoptable animals or join us for a future event—we look forward to meeting you and helping you find your new best friend.

11/5 - 💜Meet Millie! Millie is a very sweet 4 year old mixed breed. She's the perfect medium sized dog weighing around 50lbs. She can be a little shy at first, but when she warms up she melts like butter. She is looking for a home where her people can respect her choices and allow her to move at her own pace when it comes to attention and affection. Historically, Millie has not done well living with kitties and would prefer a home without them. She has spent some time around a 6 year old and we think she could live with older children again. Her history with other dogs is currently unknown so any potential dog friends would need to meet her at the humane society first. If you are interested in a calm, sweet, and gentle new addition to your family, come and meet with Millie! 💜
