longest stay Connie found her match along with 25 other pets this week!

This beautiful calico loaf is Connie

Many of you may recognize Connie from our Cat Condos. Not too long ago we decided Connie needed a change of scenery, away from the hustle and bustle of shelter life. Our Executive Director, Jill, was kind enough to open up her office as a relaxing sanctuary for Connie and she started feeling more like herself! After just a few short days Connie started purring, making lots of biscuits, sunbathing, and enjoying the view from her new work desk.

Connie was our longest-stay resident, and in overwhelming environments, Connie was known for being shy and reserved. But we learned from her previous fosters and more recently Jill, that Connie is just as social as any other cat! She loves people-watching, chasing lasers, and even rolling around in cat nip! Connie is the type of girl who will sleep all day and enjoy her food as a midnight snack.

Connie went into foster care with potential adopters, and we all crossed our fingers and waited to find out if it was going to be a match, and we finally got the email that they wanted to officially make her part of their family! They love her so much and even said that she has made friends with their other cat. We are so happy for her and her new family.

We want to say thank you to Lynchburg Jewelry and Loan for sponsoring Connie’s adoption fee and thank you to Petco Love for making adoptions like this possible!

We said farewell to Lieutenant Dan and 36 other Pets this week!

If you follow us on social media, you probably saw Lieutenant Dan and his adoption video. (If you don’t, check us out!) Happy boy Lieutenant Dan found his match this weekend, and we couldn’t be more excited for this senior pup.

Lieutenant Dan came to us back in January with a few medical concerns, but just a couple days in the hands of our medical team, he was up and ready for adoption in no time! His favorite thing while being here at the Center was going on long strolls with his staff buddies, and we are so happy that he now gets to go on walks with his new family!

We want to say thank you to his adopters, as well as Haley Campbell who sponsored Lt. Dan’s adoption fee, as we as Petco Love for making adoptions like this possible!

32 Pets Found Happiness this week! Including our best boy Denver!

Denver was transferred to the Center for Pets back in June of 2022. With his dashing good looks and charming personality, he quickly stole the hearts of many of our staff members.

Though he had many staff buddies who loved him, Denver patiently waited for someone to come and take him home and that finally happened this week! We are so excited for Denver and his new family.

Thank you to the generous person who sponsored Denver’s adoption fee and to Petco Love for making adoptions like this possible!

Big Mac, along with 30 other Pets found happiness this week!

Big Mac is the definition of a hunk of love. This big orange boy was saved in the community by our friends at Stray Cat TNR and was in need of immediate medical attention. Big Mac had a severe ear wound that was in danger of becoming infected as well as some symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. Big Mac received the first round of his treatment from LHS at our Spay/Neuter Clinic. Our veterinarian operated on Big Mac, treating his ear as well as completing his neuter. Big Mac then received the rest of his medication and was helped through recovery by our wonderful Medical Team and his foster, Shannon. Big Mac had his suture removal last month and it is completely healed! Check out the before and after photos!

He got to join in on a class of Purrlates and loved every minute of getting to snuggle up on some other attendees. His big personality and handsome looks landed him a family really quick once he became available for adoption and the staff couldn’t be happier for him. Congrats to Big Mac and his new family!

Tator Tot and 64 other Pets found Happiness!

Every time a pet comes through our doors, we are ready to jump in and provide whatever we need to do for them. Some need more help than others. And some bring us to tears…this was the case with Tater Tot when we first saw him. This 10-month-old Great Pyrenees pup was severely emaciated, weighing just under 30 pounds. He also suffered from fleas, hair loss, sores, and a muscle-wasted body. Being muscle-wasted caused him to not have much strength to stand or walk and is likely caused by not being able to exercise while growing. Upon intake, Tater Tot received immediate care including the beginning of a strict meal plan and diet, immunizations, and collections for tests to diagnose possible parasites. He was loved on by many staff members while he was here (pictured left with Medical Team member Hannah and right with Adoption counselor Mack) and our very own Dr. Dunn decided to take Tator Tot home as a foster pet as well to help him get better.

Flash forward into that fostering and we had a complete “foster fail”! Tater Tot was adopted by our very own, wonderful, Dr. Dunn this week and he is doing AMAZING! He is making many new friends – the resident pets and a sweet human baby as you can see in the updated picture we got. He has gained 13 pounds since being in our care and is getting stronger every day. Tater Tot went from barely being able to stand to being able to run! Thank you so much to our wonderful pet-loving community for rallying behind Tater Tot and supporting his care and treatment.

Dr. Dunn said he will start training classes in March and is officially in love with her human baby and the baby loves him too.

and as always, we want to thank Beacon Credit Union for Sponsoring this month’s adoption banner!
