It's an increasingly common way Vermonters get their pets: dogs brought up from so-called "high-kill" shelters in Southern states to find homes here.

She serves on the board of directors of the Humane Society of Chittenden County. Also by Wes Gibbs, volunteer program and transportation coordinator for Potter's Angels Rescue.
