Titan and Mr. Magoo, plus 49 other pets found happiness this week!

Some things are worth waiting for.

Titan

We are so excited to announce that Titan found happiness after the second chance YOU helped us give him!

Titan not only attended Muddy & Co.’s board and train program our amazing community helped us send him to, he THRIVED in it! This was Titan’s missing step to being his bouncy, tippy tappy, ball chasing, goofball self. Not only did Titan have a great time playing with the other dogs in the program and relaxing in the trainer’s comfortable home environment, he also learned helpful basic manners, how to meet new people confidently, and to depend on his person to guide him through situations. Most importantly, he was equipped to meet his new family!

Titan now looks forward to a life of adventure with people who love and understand him! As his trainer said, “every dog finds their person when they are given the chance. Titan was provided the support he needed and a chance at a new life. This lucky dog is in for lots of new adventures!”

Mr. Magoo

When Mr. Magoo came to us a year ago, he was fractious and barely holding on. He had a horrible infection that consumed his left eye. We weren’t sure if we would be able to save him, but we knew we had to try. After we removed his eye, we knew it was just a matter of time before he was feeling like himself again. Once his infection was under control he slowly started to unravel.

The changes we saw in him over the next year were nothing short of a miracle. He went from being terrified of people, to being obsessed with physical touch. He finally found the home he’s been searching for all along. With his very own brother. Now he’ll spend the rest of his days napping, cuddling, and scaring off garden mice.

We would like to thank his new family for taking the time to get to know him, and we’d also like to thank this month’s sponsor, Petco Love for making success stories like this possible.

Fawn and 35 other Pets Found Happiness this week!

Fawn came into our care May of 2022. She was one of our longest stay cats, simply because she was a bit shy and wouldn’t really come out for affection from humans but enjoyed attention from other cats. We posted about her in our “Did you know? working cats” blog last week explaining why she was here and in hopes of finding this beautiful girl a home, and it worked! Fawn was adopted three days later!

We are so happy for her to begin her journey with her new family. We want to say thank you to her adopters, Will Bostic for sponsoring her care, and to our sponsors at Petco Love for making adoptions like these possible!

Pets that were adopted May 9th-15th.

Cats that were adopted:

Becky a la Rue, Cabernet, Cha Cha, Chicken Dance, Chimi Cheesecake, Corn, Cupid Shuffle, Electric Slide, Ellie, Fawn, Grant, Jack-Be-Little, Jambalaya Jessica, John B, Nova, Puddin, Roger, Rosie the Riveter, and Sopapilla.

Dogs that were adopted:

Annie Oakley, Anya, Arisa, Baked Potato, Bane, Benny, Chad, Dwight, Gabriella, Luna, Neptune, Oscar, Scooter, Tinkerbell, Troy, Watson, and Willie.

LHS’s Cat and Dog Food Pantry

Did you know that the Lynchburg Humane Society runs a Community Pet Food Pantry? The Lynchburg Humane Society Community Pet Food Pantry helps provide our community’s pets with food when circumstances might leave them without it. Our Pet Food Pantry is a lifesaving program that wouldn’t be possible without donations from community members and businesses!

To keep the lost and homeless pets that are cared for by LHS’s diets consistent, we only feed them Hills Science Diet products. All other cat and dog food donations help supply our Community Pet Pantry or the occasional special diet pet! Right now our shelves are low on cat food and we need your help filling them up.

How to get free pet food if you need help

Community members that need help feeding their pets can stop by the Center for Pets during open hours and talk to our staff at the desk about the program. Pets and families in need can come by up to once a month to get food for their pets.

How to get involved with the Community Pet Food Pantry

Help us help our community by donating any extra cat or dog food you might have lying around today! We take new or used bags (must be in original packaging) of food and you can drop them off in the donation carts at our front entrance!

You can also volunteer to help with the Community Pet Food Pantry by helping us keep it organized and labeled! Interested volunteers can sign up here.

For more information on our lifesaving programs to keep pets in their homes you can visit the Services tab of our website or reach out to [email protected].
