Windsor police rescue over 150 animals from hoarder house
WINDSOR, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – According to U.S. census data, just under half of American households have at least one pet. What about at least 150? The Windsor Police Department began an investigation last month into a household that was keeping 'an unhealthy and inappropriate number of animals'. Around 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, police with the aid of local humane societies and veterinary clinics took over 150 animals who were being kept at the house. Veterinarians were on the scene to perform health screenings before the animals were transported to shelters throughout the state. They will get specialized care and will hopefully be available for adoption soon. The police investigation is still ongoing. Lebanon police welcome veteran police dog… and human partner The animals included cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, and even sugar gliders. The sugar glider is a gliding possum native to Australia and nearby islands that strongly resembles a flying squirrel. It is considered an uncommon 'exotic pet'.

Sister Wives' Garrison Brown is being honored by the Arizona animal shelter where he adopted his beloved cats On Sunday, May 11's episode of Sister Wives, Janelle Brown stops by the High Country Humane Animal Shelter in Flagstaff to see the newly-dedicated cat adoption center, named for Garrison, her son Garrison died by suicide at age 25 on March 5, 2024Garrison Brown is being honored by the Arizona animal shelter where he adopted his beloved cats. PEOPLE has a sneak peek at Sunday, May 11's episode of Sister Wives, in which Janelle Brown and her youngest daughter, Savanah, stop by the High Country Humane Animal Shelter in Flagstaff. The rescue is where her late son, Garrison, who died in 2024, adopted all three of his beloved pet cats. In the clip, Janelle and Savanah visit the rescue to see its newly dedicated cat adoption center named for Garrison. The shelter designed the space as an area for potential adopters to meet and play with rescue cats. Janelle shares her reaction to seeing a plaque with her son's name and a photo of him smiling while holding his cats on the room's wall. "It's such a funny thing," Janelle says through tears, recalling the reactions to her son's death. "He was in nursing school, and his class called and said, 'Where can we donate?' And I said, 'I don't know, the humane society.'" After sharing that Garrison adopted his three cats — named Catthew, Patches, and Ms. Buttons — at the shelter, a representative for High Country Humane tells Janelle that the room will help adopters get to know their cats better before taking them home. "I hope the plaque shares how grateful we are for the donations since his passing," the representative tells Janelle. "$25,000 has been raised for High Country Humane for the cats, so the room naming was one way we thought we could honor Garrison." Garrison died by suicide at age 25 on March 5, 2024. His parents, Janelle, 54, and Kody, 55, confirmed the news via social media. The shelter first shared that it had named its cat adoption center after Garrison in an Instagram post soon after his death. In the post, the animal shelter said it had named a cat adoption room after Garrison in honor of his love and devotion to the felines sheltered there. "Today, we honor Robert Garrison Brown for his love and compassion towards cats and all animals by naming our Cat Adoption Room after him and the cats he loved and adopted from us," the organization said.

P.E.I. Humane Society's surgical suite back on track after Canadian providers found
Plans for the P.E.I. Humane Society's new surgical suite are back on track after the non-profit found new Canadian sources to outfit its under-construction building. The upgraded facility has been in the works for the past decade, and is finally nearing completion. The current shelter is 7,400 square feet, while the new one measures over 18,000. Development and communications co-ordinator Ashley Travis rang the alarm bell earlier this year about the shelter facing challenges sourcing some veterinary materials through previous suppliers in the United States, as President Donald Trump launched a tariff war with allies including tariffs. Travis said she was surprised to learn that there wasn't much of a price difference when the shelter sought out Canadian alternatives for the kind of operating supplies used with animals. "I thought purchasing domestic might cause the budget to go up, but the prices were fairly comparable," she said. "All it required on our part looking within Canada was to make new contacts, and you know, that process was smoother than even I thought was going to be." Travis hopes the construction will come to an end this year. "We're into the nitty-gritty and little detail work now, so we're finishing up the last little bits here over the next couple of weeks, and I'm very hopeful that we'll be able to do a grand opening later this year." Challenge is now raising the money Travis said the shelter is now focusing more on raising money for the medical equipment needed. The estimated cost is more than $50,000. "We launched a brand-new fundraiser for this year called Pawsport to Paradise... we're going to be giving away trips around the world," she said. "Funds raised from that... are going directly to the surgical suite in the new shelter." She said it has been "pretty popular so far, but we are hoping to continue to sell tickets going into the summer." A thousand tickets are being sold in the fundraiser at $150 each. There are 12 chances of winning, and the first draw comes on July 2. "Every ticket from that fundraiser will help purchase material equipment that will be used for homeless, lost and abandoned animals receiving veterinary care right here on site."
