Puppy love at the Charlotte Library

There was lots of puppy love at the library on Wednesday, May 17. Kim and John Frigault of Long Trail Canine Rescue (you may also know them as the state park rangers at Mt. Philo State Park) shared the story of the rescue program. Most dogs arrive from South Carolina after being pulled from kill shelters there, and some puppies arrive from Costa Rica after rescue from the streets. All of the dogs receive appropriate medical care and lots of love from their foster families upon arrival in Vermont, and most find their “forever family” within a week or two. The Charlotte Library will feature adoption details about the pups on its Facebook page and in a display at the library as well. For a fun look at the program, check out the “Stuck in Vermont” video, featuring Charlotte dogs and their families. If you’d like to lern more, contact Long Trail Canine Rescue.
