Sweet Sadie ad 41 other pets found happiness this week!
Sadie came into our care back in 2022. Since then, our team has learned that she is nothing but a big ol’ goofball who wants nothing but your love and attention. When she wasn’t trying to snuggle up to you could find her snuggled up with her favorite stuffie.
On Friday of last week, she found her match! An adopter came in looking for a companion that was sweet and loves cuddles and well, long story short she found Sadie. We are so happy for them and this new journey they are on together.
We want to say thank you to Fran Briley for sponsoring Sadie’s adoption fee, and to everyone who adopted this past week giving so many pets new loving homes. Thank you also to Terry Subaru for being this month’s sponsor and for hosting #SubaruLovesPets event.

Double trouble Uno and Patches found happiness together, as well as 102 other pets were adopted this week!
Meet Uno and Patches, the most iconic duo here at LHS!
Uno and Patches came in together and have been inseparable ever since. We could always find them cuddled up together whenever we passed by, and always had to snag a picture or two of them. Though it doesn’t always happen, the staff had their fingers crossed that they would end up getting adopted together.
A couple came in on Tuesday of last week and wanted two cats who would get along in their home (What are the chances?!). One of our staff members mentioned Uno and Patches to them, telling them about their story. The couple decided to meet them and sure enough it was a match! Uno and Patches got to stay together!
We are so happy for Uno and Patches and their new family! Thank you to everyone who came in and adopted this past week giving so many deserving pets new homes. Thank you also to Terry Subaru for being this month’s sponsor and for hosting #SubaruLovesPets event.

Sweet potato Tater found happiness along with 94 other pets!
Tater had a family coming in to visit and spend time with him these past few weeks to get to know him and they officially made the decision to adopt Thursday!
Some of you may know, but Tater only had a few friends he would let pet him in the shelter. He struggled to make connections in the shelter environment and was only getting worse the longer he went without a home. He desperately wanted to make friends, but he slowly started closing himself off.
When his new family finally took him home, Tater was confused at first. The TV startled him, he didn’t know where to sleep or use the bathroom, and he was unsure whether he should get comfortable or not. But after a few days, with the love and patience of his new family, he finally realized he wasn’t going back to the shelter. He quickly discovered his favorite place to rest was on the couch, and in their laps.
Tater is a great example of just how much a home can make a difference in a dog’s personality. Tater desperately loves attention but he was so overwhelmed by the uncertainty in his life that he couldn’t allow himself to go there. Now that he’s in a home he’s an entirely different dog!
His new family, our staff, and Tater of course, worked so hard to make this happen. We couldn’t be more proud of Tater as well as grateful to everyone involved in this match. Tater’s adoption fee was even sponsored by a Good Samaritan making things easier for his new owners to spoil him.
Thank you so much for welcoming Tater into your home, thank you to everyone who adopted giving so many pets new homes, and thank you to Terry Subaru for being this month’s sponsor and for hosting #SubaruLovesPets event.

Goose and 68 other pets found happiness this week!
Meet sweet Goose! This handsome man was brought into our care because if medical concerns with his bladder. With the help of AECC and Peaksview Animal Hospital, we got Goose healthy again and changed up his diet to help with future urinary care.
While being in our care we discovered that he is such a gentleman of a cat. Loves cuddles, pets, and all the attention. We aren’t surprised his new family snatched him up so quickly!
We are so happy for Goose and his new family! Thank you to everyone who came in and adopted this past week giving so many pets a home.

Pets that were adopted September 26th through October 2nd.
Carrie came into our care back in June as a lost pet. She instantly became a staff and volunteer favorite with her sweet personality. The volunteers loved walking her and spending time with her in the play yards. Staff described her as a “sweet and gentle soul.”
The shelter life had started to become stressful for Carrie and we placed her into a foster home for a small break from the noise. Not long after her return from her foster vacation a sweet couple from NC noticed Carrie on our website and they decided to make the trip to come in and meet her, and it was love at first sight for Carrie and her new parents. Carrie packed her bags that same day and headed to NC with her new family. We are so happy for her and her new family.
We want to thank everyone who gave so many pets new homes and families to love. Also, a big thank you to Bank of the James for being this month’s adoption banner sponsor!
