No, your eyes do not deceive you, that is LADY GODIVA going home!!

We are so excited to announce that 5 months after being rescued from Charlotte County, emaciated, scared, barely hanging onto life, our sweet girl Lady Godiva has finally found a home!!  

We have worked with our friends at SWAG Southern Welfare Animal Group Inc. for the last year and a half to transport pets from Charlotte County and beyond to provide lifesaving care. It is all thanks to them and Best Friends Animal Society award of the 2025 Rachel Ray Save Them All Grant that we were able to save sweet Godiva and find her a loving home.

We are so excited for Lady Godiva and her new exciting journey, she is already thriving and enjoying her time with her new puppy sibling.

Thank you for adopting, and thank you, Rachel Ray/Best Friends, for allowing us to reach other communities with our lifesaving work.

Thank you, Petco Love, for being this month’s sponsors.

57 pets found happiness this week, including Rosie’s lone surviving puppy!

Do you remember Rosie? Just over 2 months ago, sweet 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 also very pregnant. With the condition she was in, we were unsure if any of her puppies would make it and sadly, most of them did not. She was left with one surviving puppy, Sir Oolong. But that one puppy was so loved. For the next two months, Rosie fought for her life and her puppy’s. Rosie’s wounds slowly began to heal. And alongside her puppy, she started to relearn how to play and have fun.

This week, Sir Oolong was officially old enough for adoption! Big and strong, he graduated from foster care and found his home just hours after. We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped care for him, as well as his new owners for welcoming him into their home!! We also want to thank Petco Love for being this month’s sponsors and always supporting us.

Christmas in July was a success.. but we’re not done yet!

This week our kennels were full. We had nearly 100 dogs in our care with more and more kittens pouring in each day. Our weekend adoption event was a success with so many cat adoptions but we think we can do better. So we’ve extended our special through Thursday 7/17. ALL pets will have 50% off their adoption fees through Thursday. If you can not adopt, spread the word, stop by for a petcation, or email [email protected] to do a temporary foster! We hope to see you here and we hope to find as many dog homes as we have cat homes!

Thank you to everyone who adopted a deserving pet during our ‘Christmas in July’ special and beyond. Also shoutout to our sponsors at Petco Love for your continuous support.

Kitten with the deformed legs finds a home!

Remember Grace, the kitten with the backward legs?

After little Grace was found with little strength, she immediately went to foster with one of our staff members who had been looking for a connection. It was instant love for her, and through all of Grace’s ups and downs she was there. While her legs will always trail behind her, it is thanks to her foster, and now mom that she will grow big and strong against all odds!

Thank you to everyone who donated to Grace’s care, and thank you to piedmont_floor_show for being this month’s sponsors!
