83 pets Gucci’s gone home!!

You’ve probably seen Gucci on social media! This sweet little man was a favorite not only among our staff but in the community as well. Gucci was made petcation approved a few weeks back and has made trips around Lynchburg every weekend since. It took him a little bit longer than we expected for someone to finally fall in love and take him home but last week someone finally did!

After signing up for a petcation and picking Gucci they realized quickly that they were going to want to keep him. Thank you so much to Gucci’s adopter for taking him home and giving him the life he deserves. And shoutout to last month’s sponsors Bank of the James.

Those little legs took him all the way home!

Little man is Rubi, and he was brought to us about a month ago, quite chubby and in need of a dental. We got him on a special diet, sent him over to our clinic to get his teeth cleaned up, and now he’s on his way home with a new sibling who will definitely get him whipped into shape!

Rudi is now in a home and loved and we are so grateful to his new owners who are dedicated to keeping Rudi happy and healthy! Thank you Bank of the James for being this month’s banner sponsor.

Our favorite long stays Tadpole & Bobby went home!

Your favorite long-time porch room resident, Tadpole was posted on social media a week ago after she was made Pet of the Month! Tadpole is the very last of her litter to be adopted. You may remember Puppy, Piglet, and Chick, who were all also in the shelter for over a year. Now the whole family has finally found their perfect placements, and Tadpole even took home a friend. Bobby was recently placed in the Porch Room after graduating from socialization foster, but still being a bit shy. They became friends right away, and now they have both gone home together!

Thank you so much to their adopter for giving these two a chance and finally giving them a loving home after waiting such a long time.

Surviving Panleukopenia!!

In mid-July, a little kitten was found on the side of the road by some good Samaritans after their trip to McDonald’s. This little kitten was so small and hungry that, on the car ride over to LHS, he chowed down on their McDonald’s French fries, thus leading them to name him Agent Fry. We kept the name, of course! Our medical team was already keeping a very close eye on him to make sure he was eating and staying hydrated. So a few days later when he began having diarrhea and his appetite was decreasing, they didn’t wait to run tests. He tested positive for Panleukopenia. Luckily, because our medical team caught his diagnosis so early, they were able to begin treatment right away, Agent Fry’s treatment was quick and he was able to avoid many of the severe symptoms that usually come with this devastating virus.

After his treatment he was posted on social media and went on TV to show off his progress! After his LHOV segment a loving family came in to take him home for good! Thank you so much to his adopters for taking this trooper home and Bank of the James for being this month’s sponsors!

Zoe’s foster was a success!

Zoe was in our care for months before she found her best friend! Zoe was adopted from us as a puppy and a few years later she was surrendered to a small shelter nearby. When we found out she was there we went over to pick her up. She was a bit shy but we were confident that could be managed. Unfortunately her anxiety only got worse the longer she was here and people were hindered by her size and nervousness, so she was here much longer than we expected.

It’s when we began to worry for her when her saving grace came out of the wood work! Like many people’s concern who had visited Zoe before, staff member Taylor wasn’t sure if she’d have room in her home for Zoe having two dogs already. But she loved her, and wanted to give her a fair chance so she took her home and introduced her to her gang! It started our as weekend trips away from the shelter, then slowly became more. She didn’t intend on keeping her, just giving her decompression time, a warm place to rest and to help her find a home. But fate had other plans. Last week she made the final decision to adopt Zoe and officially make her a part of the family.

Thank you Taylor for giving Zoe the life she deserves and thank you Petco Love for being this month’s banner sponsor.
