Happy adoption pup-dates and a new Pet Calendar event
First, we're celebrating Elfie from the Central Vermont Humane Society and Matilda from the North Country Animal League. While their adopters were shy about an adoption day photo, we certainly know how Elfie felt about the whole thing with that big ol' smile. Not to mention, Matilda found her 'Miss Honey' the same afternoon her Forever Home episode aired! Lastly, a big fundraising event is now underway at the North Country Animal League. You can start submitting your pet's photos for a beer label competition. The winning photos will be put on Rock Art Brewery beer cans and will be revealed at NCAL's Open House event on June 7th. Last year, this event raised $40,000. Jacques Du Preez, the executive director at NCAL says, 'three pets will each receive their own beer label and we also plan on adding them to the wrap of our transport vehicle so a couple extra ways to show our appreciation for supporting the contest.' You have until April 28th to share your photo. That's also the same day voting opens to the public. For just one dollar per vote, you can make your voice heard about who should win this beer label contest. The winning pets will also receive a professional photoshoot. All of the money raised from this event will go back to supporting the life-saving care and services NCAL offers to the communities they serve. You can head on over to the North Country Animal League's website for more information. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sweet senior pup, Matilda, is ready to be adopted
While visiting the North Country Animal League for this week's newest Forever Home episode, we met the one and only Matilda. She is everything you want in a laid back, chill, super sweet dog…and no, she does not act like a senior dog! Matilda is approximately 10 years old and is having some dental surgery tomorrow. Once that is complete, she is good to go to be adopted into her new Forever Home. Age is just a number for this regal canine. There are no other health issues or dietary restrictions for this very good girl. Matilda has a marvelous mane, fluffed up pointy ears, and a gorgeous black and white coat. Her markings are most interesting on her legs as there's a black and white polka dot pattern that laces her front paws. Matilda has a very sweet demeanor and she's great on a leash. We brought her outside for some fresh air while visiting and even as the big trucks blew past on the county highway, Matilda was unphased. She loves being a lap dog but also loves being held and carried. Her front paws go into 'limp mode' once she's scooped off the ground. Whether it's a walking companion for the warmer months ahead or a fun-loving snuggle bug, Matilda has all the traits to fulfill a family's dream of having the perfect pet. Matilda's history with other animals and children are unknown, but NCAL thinks that with a slow introduction that she will do just fine. For more information about Matilda and how to adopt, you can simply visit the North Country Animal League's website. Let's find this super sweet senior pup her Forever Home to live out those golden years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
