How You Can Help!
Your donations will
be put directly
toward our goal of
creating a humane
community. All
programs sponsored
by RCHS will
continue and
flourish with your
generous support.
Hundreds of
wonderful pets will
find a second chance
through our Pet
Adoption Center.
The actual
expense for each pet
placed depends on
many variables such
as the medical needs
of the pet, his/her
length of stay
before being
adopted, special
needs, etc. But be
assured that the
fees charged for
adoption never
meet the actual
costs of caring for
each pet during
their stay with us.
Your donations will
ensure quality care
for the animals that
need it most.

It's Kitten
Season at RCHS!
Our kittens require
special supplies to
keep them healthy
and growing.

see what we need!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2-Pocket Blue
Folders are Now on
Sale!
We use 2-pocket blue
folders to house all
of the adoption
information when
people adopt animals
from us.
Regularly they are
approximately 53
cents each.
They are now on
sale for 1 cent to
15 cents each!
If you happen to see
them and can
buy some for us it
would be terrific!

New Donation
Guidelines at RCHS
RCHS is appreciative
to the community for
its continued
support of donations
for our animals.
While we often
receive donations we
can use, we also
receive donations
which we are unable
to use. As a
result, we have to
pay to dispose of
the items we cannot
use. And these
costs are rising, as
are many of the
costs associated
with running the
shelter. As a
result we have made
a few changes to our
donation
guidelines.
Donations we
can no longer
accept include:
open bags of food,
open boxes of
treats, heavily used
toys/food dishes,
used litterboxes,
pillow cases,
electric blankets,
pillows, fitted
sheets, sleeping
bags, small linens,
heavily used cat
furniture,
small animal cages
and wire dog
crates. We use a
lot of newspapers
but please call
first as we have a
constant need but no
room to store large
amounts. Thank you
for your continued
support and if you
have any questions
please call the
shelter at 483.6700.

Mt. Holly's First
Graders Help the
Animals at RCHS!
The first grade
students at the Mt.
Holly School
finished their year
with an in-depth
study of animals.
As part of the
program, they
collected items and
money for the
animals at RCHS.
They also made
pillows for the dogs
and cats. The
program was made
possible through the
Okemo Challenge
Grant. Thanks
first graders!
Donations to RCHS!
Thanks to the
Killington Girl
Scouts for
collecting items for
the animals at RCHS!
In the picture
below, they are
posing with their
collected items
after presenting
them to RCHS.
If you look closely,
you'll see RCHS
Alumni, Madeline,
who was happy to
accept the items on
behalf of the RCHS
animals!
Madeline's Mom,
Director of Outreach
and Special Events, Beth
Saradarian, talked
to the scouts about
RCHS and being a
responsible pet
owner.

To help the animals
in our care minimize
stress-related
digestive problems,
we have partnered
with Hill's Science
Diet to feed our
dogs and cats only
Science Diet dry
food. This
will ensure a
high-quality,
consistent diet
while they are at
RCHS and we
recommend it to our
adopters. The
program provides the
food for free which
is another benefit!
