Our ProgramsWhere Care Meets Action
Purpose in Every Program
Explore the ways Tails of Hope works proactively with our community to support animals before they ever need to come through our doors. From spay and neuter initiatives to humane education and rodent control with a heart, these programs reflect our mission in action across Rutland County.
Spay the Mom
Found a mama cat or dog with a litter? We’ll spay mom, get her vaccinated, and find loving homes for her babies. No cost to you.
Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate & Return
Supporting Rutland County residents who care for free-roaming and feral cats through humane trapping, sterilization, and vaccination.
Humane Education
