NBC 5 reported that when the pets were found walking around Williamstown together on March 3, they were in “rough shape.”
“It was immediately apparent they had not been receiving basic care for a while, so we got to work getting them healthy, and giving them all the love they soaked up,” the humane society wrote in a Facebook post Monday.
The humane society said the relationship between the three animals is reminiscent of the “endurance and commitment to friends” seen in the movie “Homeward Bound.”
Though the dogs, River and Rain, quickly came out of their shells, the cat, Reed, stayed timid.
“Until….we brought River and Rain to his colony room to visit, and he lit up like [a] happy boy,” Central Vermont Humane Society said. “The three of them shared head bonks, muzzle rubs, purrs, and cuddling.”
The trio would be happiest being adopted into one home, they said. In an update to the post Saturday, Central Vermont Humane Society said the three animals started a foster-to-adopt trial with a couple Friday.
“It’s important for all that these sweet souls are in the best environment for their needs, so we’ll give it a little time to be absolutely certain they’ve found their happily-ever-after,” the post said.
ARLINGTON — The Preservation Trust of Vermont has officially presented The Arlington Common and Nick Albert of Albert Construction with a 2026 Preservation Award at the annual Downtown and Historic Preservation Conference.
The Preservation Awards recognize outstanding contributions to the preservation and revitalization of Vermont’s historic buildings and community spaces. The Arlington Common was selected for its “exceptional impact on community gathering and historic stewardship.”
The success of The Arlington Common relies heavily on the dedication of local partners who brought the vision to life. Among the key honorees was Albert Construction, led by Nick Albert, whose exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to historic integrity were vital to the project’s completion.
“Preserving historic structures requires more than just standard construction; it demands a deep respect for original materials, architecture, and community legacy,” said Don Trachte, Head of the Buildings and Grounds Committee and Arlington Common Board Member. “Nick Albert and the team at Albert Construction went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored the past while engineering a space that will serve Arlington for generations to come.”

Champlain Valley senior Zoey McNabb has been named the Vermont high school girls track and field athlete for the 2026 season, Gatorade announced Thursday, June 25.
The Gatorade award recognizes athletes for their on-field success, high academic achievement and exemplary character.
In her first year as a competitive runner, the 5-foot-7 McNabb broke long-held state records in the 1500- and 3000-meter races this past spring with times of 4 minutes, 28.59 seconds and 9:24.58, respectively. At the Division I state meet, she swept both events to help the Redhawks claim a team championship three-peat.
Her 3,000 time ranked fourth nationally; her 1,500 performance was good for 12th. At the New England championship meet, McNabb took second in the 3,200 and third in the 1,600. She also ran in five events at New Balance Nationals, where she set the state record in the two mile.
An all-state basketball player for CVU, she has volunteered locally at the Green Mountain Montessori School in Essex in addition to donating her time as a youth basketball coach, according to the news release.
“Zoey was fearless this spring, attacking decades-old records and destroying them,” BFA-St. Albans coach Mike Mashtare said in a statement. “What made her special was how effortless she made it look with her smooth stride and relaxed running style.”
McNabb has maintained an unweighted 4.27 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete on scholarship at the University of Vermont this fall.
As part of Gatorade’s commitment to breaking down barriers in sport, every player of the year also receives a grant to donate to a social impact partner.
