*UPDATE - ADOPTED*
9-year-old Cher spent some time in one of our foster families’ homes over the holiday, and she’s made it clear that she’s looking for a best friend. 🥰 She was rescued from a neglectful situation and is making up for lost time by leaning into all the snuggles she can get. Cher’s little body just melts at your touch. 🥹
If you’re looking for a lap dog, she’s your gal. She wants to be glued to your side as much as possible and will give the sweetest little paw to you to ask for attention.
And from what the foster family can tell, she’s house broken! 🤗She didn’t have an accident this whole visit. She also did well with the other pets in the house.
Cher still has plenty of pep in her step. She loved going on a hike during her time away from the shelter. 🐾 But mostly, she was ALL about the love.
Folks, this is one you don’t want to pass up. We're open 12-6pm Thursday and 12-4pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday. If you want a new companion, Cher’s SO ready to be yours.

Holiday 2024 Rescue
In the past 48 hours, we will have taken in 46 pets! 😳
On top of today's large humane agent rescue, we also rescued an abandoned litter of 7 puppies and followed through on our agreements to take 16 dogs from two rural shelters in the state that needed help. 🐾
Not many folks know that the average cost of care for a pet's stay at #LCHSpets from intake to adoption is $500!
This means in the last two days, we've committed to spending nearly $23,000 providing the best of care including medical intervention, vaccinations, surgeries, and around-the-clock feeding/watering/cleaning/behavioral work, etc.
These pets will receive so much love and attention from us, even if we're not able to fundraise this amount in this short time. ❤ But, as you can see, truly any bit helps and will go to supporting our mission of rescuing the homeless, abused, and neglected pets throughout our community! 🙏

Friends, today is the kind of day that we dread posting about. 🥺Our humane agents were called out to a home where they found 21 dogs and 2 cats living in a horrific environment.
About half the dogs were found being kept in cages, with food and water on the floor just out of their reach. The other half were placed in closets throughout the home. All were anxiously awaiting rescue.
Our team sprung into action today, as they're trained to do. 🐾But we know there is A LOT of work left. The dogs have not been cared for medically and will take some TLC to prepare them for adoption.
We're asking for help. 🙏 We rely on donations to do our work. Any amount you're able to give will help us continue to provide care for the homeless, abused, and neglected animals we are committed to rescuing. https://lchspets.harnessgiving.org/campaigns/17146
We'll surely keep you updated on their progress. And rest assured that our humane agents are working closely with authorities to ensure justice is served.
Today, we KNOW we are #MoreThanAShelter ❤

It’s PUPPY PALOOZA here for #FosterFriday. 🐶You’re going to want to take a minute or two to scroll through this collection of pictures sent from our amazing foster families. It’s like you can smell the puppy breath from here! 🥰Reminder: these pups are not available for adoption and we’ll wait to give all info about them until they come back to #LCHSpets to find their forever homes.
Who's up for a #FeelGoodFriday story??
Colt and Cheyenne are 2-year-old Great Pyrenese brothers who came to us about a week ago after being surrendered due to the failing health of their owner.
The owner knew that he would no longer be able to continue to give them the farm life and daily care that they grew to love and need. He selflessly turned them over to us to find them a new home where they'd be able to live their very best lives.
While we've been giving lots of love to these dear pups preparing to make them available for adoption, the owner has been so distraught the entire week, barely sleeping or eating, with his heart and his mind constantly on his beautiful boys. 💔
But here's where the story takes a loving turn. His son decided to not only take these two boys back into the family but also take over the family farm so that they could continue to live where they thrived. The son knows this is a big change and requires extra commitment from him, but he's doing what is most 'right' for his family...which includes these two lovable pups.
The pups and the family could barely contain their excitement as they were reunited today. 🥹
Now that's a soul-warming story for this cold day! Their family is whole again. We wish the Reed family and their wonderful dogs Colt and Cheyenne the very best. 💕

Neglect Rescue
These darling pups were recently rescued by our humane agents from a terribly neglectful situation. All of them have extensive medical needs and behaviorally are taking some time to decompress and trust us humans. However, after just a few days, they have come to really love their new caretakers at #LCHSpets
They still have a little ways to go to be cleared for adoption, but they are a perfect example of what you’re supporting when you choose to donate. 🙏🏼
The long hours of thoughtful caretaking & the varied medical processes and procedures are SO worth it when you see the sweet face you’ve come to love find their forever families and walk out the door…opening a space (in the shelter and in our hearts) for another. ❤️
Your donations today, for #GivingTuesday, will be matched thanks to a generous sponsor. That means, whatever you give will go TWICE AS FAR!
https://lchspets.harnessgiving.org/campaigns/16923
Please consider supporting our work and our hearts today.
