10322 Route 116. This is where we will meet the dogs - usually in front of the garage.
To protect each other, please follow these instructions.
Wear a mask while you are at the police station - even when outside.
Maintain at least a 6’ distance from all other people.
If the foster dog needs a potty break, but sure to walk away from the parking lot and away from other people. Keep dog ON leash at all times.
Turn into the police station and park in one of the available places in the parking lot. Remain in your car.
Our transport coordinator will be near the garage with crates, beds, foster & gift bags nearby. This is the area marked by the puppy on the map.
We need to avoid forming groups. Please approach the garage one person at a time to pick up supplies and return to your car.
If you can safely stand outside near your car, please do or sit inside your car until the transport van arrives. The van will park in front of the garage area.
Van driver, Chris, will announce the name of the puppy coming off the van. Keith will get the puppy, put the collar & leash on then hand the pup to you.
When your pup is called, pick up your puppy from Keith and make sure the collar feels tight enough. We don’t want it to slip off. It’s okay to bring the puppy for a short walk to go potty. Be sure to walk away from any other people. Let us know if your pup goes potty. We have bags with us and will clean up.
When ready, return to your car and bring your foster dog home. See instructions below on safe handling of your foster dog once you are home.

Your foster dog has been through several major changes in a short period of time. Please follow these guidelines to ease their transition.
FIRST TWO DAYS IN YOUR HOME
Help the dog by creating a safe, quiet space to decompress.
Calm, laid back, mellow environment is key.
Dog can meet your personal pets in the home, but restrict meeting other dogs.
Foster pup can meet & spend time with your family, but no crowds right now.
Walks around your yard or along a low/no traffic road or path are great.
Prepare and serve the Pumpkin Mash to ease GI trouble.
Even housebroken dogs will have accidents the first few days. They need to learn where the door is to their bathroom.
ENTIRE TIME FOSTER DOG IS IN YOUR CARE
Dog MUST remain ON leash while fostering unless in a secure fenced area.
Please do not bring a foster dog to a dog park at any point during his stay.
Foster pups should not travel outside of VT or go on overnight adventures without prior discussion with Brigitte.
Dog should remain in your care 24/7 unless an alternative foster parent is approved.
Martingale collar provided should be used. Fitting information provided on this page.
VT Dog Rescue ID tag should remain on the collar. If tag gets lost, ask for replacement.
By working together, we can help each dog succeed in his/her new life!
