For 110 years, Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society (Lucy Mackenzie) has provided care for animals in West Windsor, Vermont.
The compassionate team at Lucy Mackenzie is dedicated to the highest level of care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other exotic animals. Their goal is to find the best placement possible for adoptable animals, and to strengthen those bonds between the animals and their humans. 
The long-standing nonprofit offers multiple programs, including Compassion and Resources for Everyone (CARE), low-cost spaying and neutering, pet pantries stocked with food and supplies, and more. One special service, Jake’s Friends, is named in memory of a wonderful dog named Jake and serves as an emergency care fund that ensures no animals undergo suffering or euthanasia due to financial hardship.
“Mascoma Bank has been amazing in supporting us as our corporate sponsor,” shared Jackie Stanley, Executive Director at Lucy Mackenzie. “They support our mission and are always open to working with us on events. Many employees volunteer at the shelter, and Mascoma Bank willingly promotes our endeavors and mission to their clientele.”
While Lucy Mackenzie is a small organization, it has a big impact on the community. In a recent collaboration with local law enforcement and other humane societies throughout Vermont, Lucy Mackenzie helped 150 animals that were surrendered from a hoarding situation. The circumstances were unique in that there were multiple species including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and sugar gliders. Jackie Stanley said, “The focus was on the result being in the best interest of the animals. All 150 animals were eventually surrendered by the family and were relocated to different organizations in the area. We took in seven dogs, six guinea pigs, and over 12 sugar gliders—all animals are in healthy condition, aside from a few minor concerns, and all are in the process of standard protocols for new animals.”
