Scrappy and 40 other pets found happiness this week!
Meet Scrappy!
Scrappy is about a year old and sooo playful and loving! After playtime, he’s ready for lots of back rubs and hugs. He loves to sniff and socialize, and it was incredibly hard to not fall in love with him. I mean our staff (Noelle and Erin pictured right) and his new mom couldn’t get enough of this sweet boy!
We are so excited for Scrappy and his new mom to begin this adventure together!
Thank you to Melissa Anderson for sponsoring Scrappy’s adoption fee in memory of Bella and Baby and thank you to Petco Love who has been our sponsor this month!

If you’ve been keeping up with our socials, you’ll know that last week we were completely maxed out on dog space. We decided to have a “Spaced Out” adoption special and waive the adoption fees for our dogs! With lots of hard work from our staff, and of course, our dedicated community rallying together, we were able to find homes for 50 dogs!
Though the cats weren’t included in this adoption special, we still managed to find 37 cats and kittens homes this past week! On Saturday, 6/17 we had an adoption event at Petco, where we waived the fees of 8 kittens. Four of those kittens found homes and as well as Ginger Spice who had been hanging out in the condos there!
On this week’s blog we couldn’t find it to just spotlight one pet for the story, we had so many pets find new moms and dads and we couldn’t be happier for all of them! We have decided to share a couple of the adoption photos instead!
Thank you so much to each one of our wonderful adopters as well as Kevin Davis from Terry Subaru, Ashley Danielle Photography, and others for sponsoring over 60 microchips fees!
Petco Love has always been a reliable sponsor and this month, their support was well spent!

Richie Rich and 56 other pets found happiness this week!
We all know Richie Rich as the spoiled boy who has it all. That is, all but friends.
Our Richie Rich had SOO many friends here at LHS that loved to snuggle and cuddle him any chance they got, as he patiently waited for a family to come and adopt him. Richie Rich is a lap-loving, shoulder-perching, loud-purring, long-bodied love bug!
Luckily Richie didn’t have to wait too long for a family to come and fall in love with him. He was adopted over the weekend and is now living the life of luxury with his new family.
We want to say thank you to his adopters and to Petco Love for making adoptions like this possible.
Independent gal, Norma and 44 other pets found happiness!
Norma, Norma, Norma.
This independent, beautiful girl came into our care June of last year. She was considered one of our working cats, you know the kind, just wants a place to sleep and eat but never be touched. She stayed in our porch room hiding away from all human interaction. Though everyone thought she was pretty, she would never give them a chance to get close.
One of our staff members reached out to a friend who has lots of farmland and told her about Norma’s year of not really enjoying life being cooped up. That friend then said, “I’ll come and adopt her.” Just like that Norma was, surprisingly, happily put into a carrier and taken to her new home. She now lives on a farm, where she gets to spend her days laying in the sun and chasing off rabbits from the garden.
We want to say thank you to her adopter, for giving her a life she has dreamed of and to Petco Love for making adoptions like this possible.
Reunions and happy endings, 50 Pets found Happiness this weekend including two amazing stories!

Renegade
Staff members at LHS create many special bonds with the pets that come in and out of our doors every day. Personally, this has happened to me before, but there is one dog that 100% stole my heart and was always on my mind. Renegade. As devastating as it was for me, the timing just was not right for me to add Renegade to my family. Saturday, the day came for Renegade to start his new life with the perfect family. I was super nervous- given his apprehension of strangers- sad, excited and happy all at the same time for Renegade.
The family brought their dog, who according to them looked very similar to our boy Renegade which is what drew them to come in and meet him. In conversation they mentioned they had adopted their dog from LHS about a year ago. I asked what her name was at LHS and they said ”Sahara”. Renegade’s brothers and sisters were all named after models of Jeeps. THIS WAS HIS SISTER!!! Instantly I knew this was where Renny was meant to be and how this was supposed to play out.
Tears were shed and I felt lost not being to have our trail walk today, but I could not be any happier for my sweet and goofy boy. Congratulations to Renny, his sister and their family. Thank you to Petco Love for bringing dreams like this to life!
Tommy and Angelica
We’d like to celebrate two very special adoptions today. Some time ago, 3 very sick puppies arrived at our Center with a severe case of Parvo. Their names were Tommy, Angelica, and Tyson. Parvovirus is a relentless and unforgiving illness, and while we did everything in our power to treat, care for and save all three pups, Tyson’s condition was too advanced, and he didn’t make it.
Despite the heartbreak, our medical team put all of their efforts into Tommy and Angelica and it paid off!! They made a FULL recovery, and lots of new friends along the way!
While beginning of their LHS residency was sorrowful, the end of their stay is worth celebrating!! We are happy to report that Tommy went home last week with amazing new parents, and Angelica went home with a new Husky brother and Maltese sister!
We couldn’t be more excited for this special pair as we’ve grown very attached to them. We know Tyson is looking down with a warm heart, smiling at his siblings’ newfound happiness!
