100+ Adoptions, and you won’t believe who went home!!

After a year in the shelter and months and months of marketing, making silly videos, and searching for a foster home for our sweet senior boy, RILEY has finally got his big break!! Those of you who follow our page have undoubtably seen Riley’s many posts from us, searching for a home for him. Well last week when a woman came in, she didn’t know he was a long stay dog, she just knew he was the one.

After 14 years of her last dog’s passing helping her son who fostered a dog with us is what got her thinking about another dog. And she chose Riley, and Riley excitedly accepted her!! Now Riley is living in an apartment with carpeted floors, and his own personal elevator. His new mom loves him and all of his friends here at LHS couldn’t be more proud. Now there will be lost of leashes to carry, so much cuddling, and the best sleep of his life all in time for Thanksgiving in his own home.

Thank you so much to Riley’s adopter for taking our sweet boy home, and thank you to our continuous supporters @Terry Subaru for making it possible to give dogs like Riley a comfortable place to rest until they find their forever homes!

Last week was a Puppypalooza…

In the last two weeks, we’ve received over 20 unexpected puppies. Transfers, surrenders, or strays, they are all looking for homes. There is always a huge market for puppies, so thankfully, they found homes fast, and the ones that aren’t old enough for adoption can be placed on hold soon.

Even though puppies do not have a hard time finding homes, we still want to take the time to thank everyone who came together in record time to not only provide adoptive homes for these puppies, but also foster homes for our very young pups. We wouldn’t be able to rescue more precious lives without our adopters and fosters.

Now that the majority of our puppies have found loving homes, it is time for the kittens to have their moment!! This weekend (Friday 11/7 – Sunday 11/9) we will be having a $25 Kitten adoption special that includes all cats under one year old.

Happy Halloweek!!

We love happily ever afters, especially ones where siblings can be kept together!! Last week a family came in to adopt a kitten, and they left with three. When their girls saw Chip, Small Fry, and Spud playing in their crate, their little hearts melted. When their parents learned they were siblings they decided that they had the room, so why split them up! They adopted all THREE little ones, and now they’re a family 3 kittens happier, and we have room to save three more kitties.

We are closed today 10/28 and tomorrow 10/29 for staff training and appreciation. But we still have plenty of kittens like these waiting for their happily ever after. Just stop by when we pick up our regular hours at 12pm this Thursday 10/30! We can’t wait to help you find your new best friend.

Thank you to this amazing family for adopting these kitties, and thank you Terry Subaru for always being an advocate for our pets, and for being this month’s sponsor.

One spooky special and 100 adoptions later!!

This past week was our Spooky Special. Last week we already had a full shelter, we are already at max capacity for dogs, and reaching max capacity for cats. What was originally going to be a weekend special, we extended through the entire week and had an amazing turn out! Our total adoption count was 111!

We’d like to thank all of the adopters who chose to give these pets the chance of a brighter future. We’d also love to thank our sponsors for this month Terry Subaru for helping make these adoptions possible!

We are so excited for these pets, their families, and the lives that they’ll share together. If you or someone you know is thinking about adding a new furry member to the family, please spread the word and stop by our Center for Pets!

Terry Subaru is helping to bring pets and people together!!

The day after his big adventure to Terry Subaru, Xavier went on an adoption trial!! They fell in love with him, and a few days later they decided to finalize their adoption. Why was he at Terry Subaru you may be wondering.

Since our first collaboration with our friends at Terry Subaru in 2013, they have helped raise over $250,000 for the homeless pets at the Lynchburg Humane Society. And in more ways than that they support the homeless pets of your community, which is why every October is #SubaruLovesPets month.

For the entire month of October the dealership has a dedicated stand for the pets at the Lynchburg Humane Society so you can learn more how you can help make a difference. If you stop by the dealership for some resources and happen to go for a test drive Terry Subaru will donate a bag of pet food, and if you purchase a Subaru they will donate $100. Additionally, every Saturday in October we make special visits to the dealership from 12 pm to 2 pm, where we bring adoptable pets for visitation and answer any questions you may have.

Their compassionate support will ensure that more amazing shelter pets like Xavier can find loving homes within our community. Thank you Terry Subaru and thank you to Xavier’s adopters for giving him a loving home.
