‘Unlikely trio’: 2 dogs and a cat found wandering together in Vermont
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.”
Central Vermont Humane Society rescued an “unlikely trio” who were found wandering together one night: two stray dogs and a cat.

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.

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.
