We Were Adopted!! March 21st- March 27th.

We said farewell to Lieutenant Dan and 36 other Pets this week!

If you follow us on social media, you probably saw Lieutenant Dan and his adoption video. (If you don’t, check us out!) Happy boy Lieutenant Dan found his match this weekend, and we couldn’t be more excited for this senior pup.

Lieutenant Dan came to us back in January with a few medical concerns, but just a couple days in the hands of our medical team, he was up and ready for adoption in no time! His favorite thing while being here at the Center was going on long strolls with his staff buddies, and we are so happy that he now gets to go on walks with his new family!

We want to say thank you to his adopters, as well as Haley Campbell who sponsored Lt. Dan’s adoption fee, as we as Petco Love for making adoptions like this possible!

Did you know? What a microchip is and why they are so important.

What is a pet microchip?

A microchip is a tiny piece of technology that carries a unique identification number. It is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted with a needle under a pet’s skin, permanently. Each chip is registered with an online database where owners link their contact information as well as their pet’s attributes.

Why should I microchip my dog or cat?

When a lost pet is found, it can be taken to a veterinary office or animal shelter where the pet’s body is scanned for a microchip. When one is present, the number appears on the scanner and is searched within the online database. The provided contact information is then used to reunite the pet with its owner! Having your pet microchipped greatly increases the chances of relocating them if ever lost. Keep in mind that every LHS pet receives a microchip prior to adoption, so join us! Microchipping allows our community to boost the likelihood of reunification between lost pets and their families. 

How do I get my pet microchipped?

Most veterinary offices offer microchipping services and so does the Lynchburg Humane Society! The procedure is quick and provides peace of mind knowing your pet has a permanent form of identification. You can make your microchip appointment at our clinic here

Once your pet has a microchip, remember to update your contact information regularly. Without up-to-date contact information, a microchip cannot serve its vital purpose.

As added protection, you can register your pet with Petco Love Lost! Petco Love Lost uses pet facial recognition software to match lost pet photos with found pet photos to reunite pets with their families nation wide. Sign up for free on their website.

32 Pets Found Happiness this week! Including our best boy Denver!

Denver was transferred to the Center for Pets back in June of 2022. With his dashing good looks and charming personality, he quickly stole the hearts of many of our staff members.

Though he had many staff buddies who loved him, Denver patiently waited for someone to come and take him home and that finally happened this week! We are so excited for Denver and his new family.

Thank you to the generous person who sponsored Denver’s adoption fee and to Petco Love for making adoptions like this possible!

Big Mac, along with 30 other Pets found happiness this week!

Big Mac is the definition of a hunk of love. This big orange boy was saved in the community by our friends at Stray Cat TNR and was in need of immediate medical attention. Big Mac had a severe ear wound that was in danger of becoming infected as well as some symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. Big Mac received the first round of his treatment from LHS at our Spay/Neuter Clinic. Our veterinarian operated on Big Mac, treating his ear as well as completing his neuter. Big Mac then received the rest of his medication and was helped through recovery by our wonderful Medical Team and his foster, Shannon. Big Mac had his suture removal last month and it is completely healed! Check out the before and after photos!

He got to join in on a class of Purrlates and loved every minute of getting to snuggle up on some other attendees. His big personality and handsome looks landed him a family really quick once he became available for adoption and the staff couldn’t be happier for him. Congrats to Big Mac and his new family!
