After 2 months on the run, Shy Guy is finally home!

Recognize this boy? Shy Guy, who was on the run for several months and was saved by two incredibly dedicated community members, spent the last month decompressing, went on a weekend stay with his rescuers for a slow reintroduction to home life, and then he was officially put up for adoption last week! Spoiler alert…Shy Guy is NOT so shy! This sweet boy immediately fell into a rhythm, and with consistency and routine in his new home, he will be more secure and confident than ever!

Thank you so much to his new family for giving this boy a shot. He’s headed home with a new sister so we know he’ll be loving his new life!! Shout out to Petco Love for being this month’s banner sponsors.

Miss Ivy is Home!!

It finally happened. After nearly a year in the shelter, FeLV+ kitty Miss Ivy was finally adopted this weekend!
Miss Ivy was surrendered to us when her owners had to move, and while she was very happy and healthy, we discovered through routine testing that she was FeLV+. She has lived in our Blue Sunroom ever since and has watched as all the other FeLV cats get adopted one after the other. Until last week. We shared her on socials and explained that while she may not be as outwardly social or melodramatic as other cats, she is still affectionate and sweet and deserves a good home.

And thankfully someone saw it and took her home. They have already shared an update on her about how much she is cherished. Here is a word from them: “Thank you so much for letting my family adopt Miss Ivy! She loves to cuddle up in the blanket while listening to tv. She loves when it’s bedtime more cuddles with her human mom. She loves sitting on her new cat condo toy like a princess.”

We are so happy for Miss Ivy and appreciate her new family for giving her a good home! Thank you so much to Petco Love for being this month’s sponsor!

Our kennels were FULL last week, but not any more!!

Mid last week, we were already struggling with our dog population levels, and then we got word that Animal Control would be bringing in 10 dogs from one home for housing. We were forced to double up the rest of our kennels. We immediately launched an adoption special to make room for these dogs to live comfortably and get our longer-stay dogs into homes! We discounted all dog adoption fees to $20 and made all VIP pets half off. For the 250th birthday of America, we had a pretty good turnout with many long-stay and big dogs going home, including Macaroni, Marshall, Flex, Notorious, Archer, and more not pictured!

Thank you so much to everyone who adopted this weekend ahead of the 4th of July. We have many more adoptions to come, but we’re so happy for the ones who got to be out of the shelter when the fireworks went off!

Back to back kitten events and here is who all went home!

Not only did we host our usual Petco kitten adoption special last Friday, but our partnership with PetSmart is back!! To kick off the beginning of this partnership, we partnered with PetSmart Charities and hosted our very first #AdoptJoyEvent last Saturday as well! Both events included a lot of kittens looking for homes with discounted fees!

Take a look at some of the amazing connections made over the weekend. If you did not make it this weekend, do not worry, there are still plenty more kittens where these come from, and these hosted events won’t be going away any time soon this summer. Stop by LHS to meet the kitten of your dreams or stay tuned on Facebook for the next time we’ll be hosting an event!

Thank you so much to everyone who adopted this weekend and thank you Petco and PetSmart for partnering with through the months of kitten season!
