Dogs

Verona

Hi! My name's Verona and I'm a 5-year-old spayed female Akita Mix. I'm a comical and fun-loving gal looking for an adult only home in which I'd be the only animal, as I can't live with other dogs nor cats and, ideally, my home would be one that has experience with the...

Louie

Louie is a handsome 3-year-old boy, who is looking for an active, experienced handler. He is a smart fella with the knowledge of basic skills, but is also looking to learn more! Louie does not like to share his toys or food, and would do best in a home with older,...

Zenobia

Hi! My name is Zenobia and I am a 1-year-old spayed female. I like to hide on the catwalk and watch people from afar. I can be more social with people I have grown used too but it does take me time. Interested adopters should have an adult only home and be willing to...

Yuni

Hi! My name is Yuni and I am a 6-year-old neutered male. I am very friendly with people but I get stressed out by other animals easily and should be the only pet in a home. I am still getting used to my new space so I am very shy right now. If you are interested in...

Lola

Hi! My name is Lola and I'm an 16-year-old spayed female. I am a very social senior that enjoys good behind the ear scratches. I have a lower energy than most of the other cats but I still love to explore my space. My bloodwork came back positive for kidney disease...

TJ and JT

Hi! We are TJ and JT, a 7-month-old brother and sister. We are a bonded pair that came in as part of a shelter transfer this summer. We are inseparable, and are often found snuggled up together. We get along well with most other cats, but prefer to approach people on...

Love

Hi! My name is Love and I am a 10-year-old spayed female. I really enjoy the company of other cats and have quickly become friends with others here at the shelter. I take awhile to warm up to new people but will love getting pet when I do. If you are interested in...

Pixie

Hi! My name is Pixie and I'm an 11-year-old spayed female. I am a laid back senior cat that enjoys a quiet environment. I enjoy getting good ear scratches and lounging around on comfy furniture. I have been diagnosed with diabetes and will require any new family to...

Sue

Hi! My name is Sue and I'm a 10-year old spayed female. I am very laid back and like to spend lots of time snuggled up in my bed. I like to approach people on my own terms, but when I do I enjoy lots of head scratches. I do well with other cats and have lived with...

Lunar

Hi! My name is Lunar and I am a 10 month-old spayed female. I like to keep my distance with people when still getting to know them, but with patience I can be as loving as any other cat. I would do best in an adult only home as I am still startled very easily. If you...

Boba

Hi! My name is Boba and I am a 1-year-old neutered male. I am very playful with the other cats in my room but I shy away from people. I will do well with a set routine outside of the shelter. If you are interested in learning more or would like to meet me, stop by...

Kimchi

Hi! My name is Kimchi and I am a 2-year-old spayed female. I love to find the comfiest bed and sleep away the day. I am not a big fan of playing, but I do enjoy watching the other cats in my room run around. I like to be approached on my own terms especially with new...

Adoption Process

The goal of our adoption program is to match our animals with loving, responsible, lifelong homes. Please take a moment to read about our adoption policies below and learn how the adoption process works. If you have any questions about the adoption process, please feel free to call us at 802-484-5829.

As a prospective adopter, we ask that you first come to the shelter to meet our adoptable animals. We’re always happy and ready to help you decide which animal would be a good match for you. Once you’ve decided on an animal you’d like to adopt, we will ask you to complete an adoption application. Adopters must be at least 21

years of age.

It can take, at minimum, two days for us to process your application and verify your information. As part of the application process, we will ask that all members of the

household come to the shelter. If you are applying to adopt a dog and you currently have a dog at home, we will discuss scheduling a staff-assisted meet and greet. When all steps of the application are complete, we will discuss with you the details of taking your new pet home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does the Adoption Fee Cover?

Each adoptable animal at Lucy Mackenzie has been vaccinated, health-checked, de-wormed, de-fleaed, microchipped, and spayed/neutered prior to placement. Pets who are four months of age or older receive a rabies vaccine. All dogs receive a DHLPP vaccine and are heartworm-tested at five months of age or older. All cats are tested for FeLv and cats 6 months of age and older are tested for FIV.

A checkup with your veterinarian is required within 30 days of placement in your home. A veterinarian can setup your new pet’s account, perform a thorough evaluation, and determine if any additional vaccines are necessary for your pet’s protection.

What information do I need to bring with me when I visit Lucy Mackenzie to adopt an animal?

If you rent a house or apartment, please provide paperwork that states it is ok for you to have a pet. If you are interested in adopting a dog and you already have a dog(s) at home, you are encouraged to bring them with you for a meet and greet with the potential new family member. It is very important that your current pets are up to date on vaccinations and heartworm preventative.
