Pet Wellness Center
Windham County Humane Society is pleased to offer regular Wellness appointments at our shelter, including basic veterinary care, lab work, vaccines, nail trims, microchips, and more. We have the ability to do basic dental, but do require a prior exam with our veterinarian.
We are not a full-service or emergency veterinary clinic. Our veterinarian is only in the building twice a week and only sees animals by appointment. By law, we can only dispense prescription drugs if our veterinarian has seen your animal.

Pet Care Assistance Program (PCA)
Our Pet Care Assistance Program (PCA) is designed to help Windham County residents who are struggling to provide adequate care for their companion animals. It is our goal to keep pets in their homes whenever possible. This program is available on a sliding scale.
Our guidelines to qualify for the WCHS Pet Care Assistance Program include:
Providing proof of Windham County residency
Providing proof of limited or fixed income (SSI / Disability / pay stub)
Agreeing to work with WCHS to have all family pets spayed or neutered
Agreeing not to acquire any more pets while receiving assistance
Agreeing to inform WCHS if financial status changes such that assistance is no longer needed
To apply, please use our Pet Care Assistance Application Form.
Once approved, participants are invited to schedule an appointment to see our veterinarian or pick up food or supplies.
Pet food is now available for self-serve pick-up:
Please do not call ahead. We put out pet food in our entryway cabinets each day. It is first come first serve. Our supply changes from month to month, based on the donations we receive. We can not guarantee we will have food available. PCA Participants can come once a week. Please only take what you need.
