Who We Are
Central Vermont Humane Society was founded in 1964 by a group of local citizens who fostered animals in their homes and worked to find new homes for them. The first shelter built in 1968 was located on Rte. 12 in Montpelier. Our current shelter located on Mekkelsen Rd in Barre was built in 1975. It was built to house 400 animals annually. We currently house over 1000 animals each year.
