(July 31, 2025)— Lynchburg Humane Society is excited to share that they have started construction on their new regional veterinary clinic, offering affordable care. A ground-breaking ceremony is planned for the fall, in cooler weather. The construction company that was awarded the bid for this project is Coleman-Adams Construction, and the architect is Dominion 7 (who also designed the current Center for Pets). The current fundraising total for the project is $4.6 million, with a total goal of $7.5 million needed for the project.
This regional veterinary clinic will offer low-cost, quality care that will serve as a lifeline for pets and their owners in need. The clinic will be located next to the Center for Pets animal shelter at 1211 Old Graves Mill Road. The new clinic will also house the Spay/Neuter Clinic operations, which are currently located in Evington. The current Spay/Neuter clinic serves 20+ localities in Central Virginia.
“This is an exciting time for LHS, pets, and the people who love them! Our new low-cost regional veterinary clinic will benefit not only Lynchburg and our organization but also address the overpopulation of pets, alleviate overcrowding in animal shelters in our surrounding counties, and keep pets with their families where they belong,” said Jill Mollohan, Executive Director. “We still have fundraising to do to reach our goal, but we are confident that our community will come through for this vital project, which will significantly benefit both people and pets, and ultimately improve our city and surrounding areas, and allow us to save more animals in our no-kill shelter.”
The Lynchburg Humane Society needs the support of our community to make this crucial project a reality. Anyone interested in getting involved or finding out more information can visit www.LHSvetclinic.org to donate or stay up-to-date on their social media pages. Donations to the Capital Campaign may be pledged over four years. Stock donations and IRA distributions are welcome.
