North Country Animal League is located on Route 100 in Morrisville, Vermont a few miles past the Stowe border. The staff at NCAL are super friendly and they absolutely love the animals that they care for. In the past, I have volunteered at the shelter by walking dogs occassionally when I have been up here for vacation.
The facility is super clean and they adopt out about 800 dogs and cats each year. The average stay for a dog is 11days and the average stay for a cat is 21 days. The animals all look very happy and are very well cared for. Their laundry area is full of hundreds of blankets, crocheted afghans and towels to keep the animals comfy and cozy. They have lots of toys to play with and again, I have to comment on how absolutely clean the facility is. There are medical facilities on site.
I have been visiting and donating to the shelter for eight years. As a no kill facility, animals stay there until they are adopted. One notable dog who stands out in my mind was Pete, a three legged pit bull. He was there almost a year and I met him on three separate visits. I am so happy that he finally got adopted. Below is a picture of Elmer, a pit bull mix who is five months old and waiting to be adopted. He is happy and fun loving and feels soft as a peach. There is another sweet dog there named Seamus who is a Shepherd mix. Hopefully they will both find homes soon.
If you would like to make a tax deductible on-line donation of as little as $5 through PayPal, please click on this link... http://www.ncal.shoppingcartsplus.com/page/page/767736.htm I highly recommend the daily planner/calendar that you can purchase at their on-line shop. I have bought dozens of these calendars over the years to give as holiday gifts. The photos in the calendar are always beautiful.
