Petco adoption specials are BACK! Of 62 adoptions this week, 16 of those found homes in under 3 hours!

Last Friday we took 16 freshly adoptable kittens to our local Petco for a chance to go home. Their adoption fees were waived and within three hours they went home one by one. There are still so many more months of kitten season so we have plenty of more kittens looking for homes at the Center. This also won’t be our last Petco special.

We want to thank everyone who came out to support us and give a kitten a loving home. We’d also like to thank Petco for letting us use their lobby to host these events.

The wait is over for Po, he finally found a home!

We are so excited to share that our sweet boy Po finally found a home!! For weeks we had been worried about him quality life. While many dogs are able to cope in the confines of the shelter environment Po had a really hard time. He would pace and pant and we only saw a glimmer of happiness from him when he was out of his kennel. Despite everyone meeting him and loving him something always kept them from adopting. Until last week!! After seeing another dog on our socials that reminder her of her own dog (Macaroni) she came in to give him a shot. Her dog was a little overwhelmed with his puppy energy, but instead of giving up she thought “well I’m already here I might as well take a look around!” Then we told her about Po. She met him, and the rest is history. They had an immediate connection and he did so well with her dog. She took him on adoption trial just to make absolutely certain he was the one, and she finalized two short days later.

We are SO happy for Po and his new mom. Thank you so much for giving our sweet boy a chance, and thank you Jeff & Cary Sims, Realtors for being this month’s sponsors!

After surviving being hit by a car, sweet momma Rosie has finally found a home!

Over 3 months ago, Rosie made her journey from the Campbell County shelter to the Lynchburg Humane Society after she was found with multiple severe injuries. She was believed to have been hit by a car. With a broken leg, and a gaping wound on her backside, Rosie was in pain, and in desperate need of medical attention. Rosie was also very pregnant. We were unsure if any of her puppies would make it after what she had been through, and sadly, most of them did not. With the extent of her injuries and some difficulties after birth, 4 puppies were stillborn, and two more passed within a few days after birth. There was one surviving puppy, Sir Oolong.
Rosie spent the last several months in an amazing foster home where she was given the most quality care to ensure her recovery, and the survival of her one puppy. Not only did her puppy survive but they both became so strong and healthy during their time in foster. Last moth Sir Oolong was big enough to graduate from foster and found his home just hours after returning to the Center. Rosie had to wait a little longer, but the wait was worth it.

This weekend a sweet family came in hoping to foster Rosie with the intentions of adopting. It only took a day for them to know she was the one. Thank you so much to everyone who adopted from us this week and thank you to Rosie’s new family for giving her a loving home. We also want to shout out our sponsors Jeff & Cary Sims, Realtors for supporting us and making these adoptions possible.

53 pets found happiness this week after a successful Back to School special!!

If you saw our post earlier this week for newbie Garlic, you’ll know we really wanted to find her a home.

An affectionate tortoiseshell girl, Garlic, is a little chubby. Garlic was actually adopted from us in 2017 and has spent the last 9 years in a home. She was transferred back to us last week after her owners could no longer care for her. We aren’t sure what brought her back to us, but her spirits were high and she wasn’t letting this separation get her down. Getting back out of the shelter and into a home for some good exercise was all she needed now to loose a little weight!

Thankfully someone heard our plea and fell in love with her photos. They came in just in time for our $50 Back to School adoption special. They met her and knew she was the one. It was love at first site and they took her home.

We can’t thank her new owners enough for taking her home and our partners at Bank of the James for sponsoring this months adoptions.

We ended Clear the Shelters month on a bang with 52 adoptions this week!!

One adoption we are so excited to share, is Coca Cola’s!! Coca Cola came to us in February earlier this year after he was transferred from another facility. Before that he was a lost cat and in such close quarters with so many new people he was scared. It was a while before he came around but with some treats and a slow hand he eventually started opening up. He loves playing on and in his cardboard box, playing with toys, and even getting his cheeks rubbed!! We were so proud to see his progress and knew that he’d open up even more in a home.

This weekend during the final week of Clear the Shelters, someone came in and fell in love with Coca Cola!! We are so excited to see where life takes these two and hope that Coca Cola opens up that much more in his new amazing home. Thank you for rescuing Coca Cola, and thank you Bank of the James for being this month’s sponsors.
