https://linktr.ee/lynchburghumane Vision: A community free of homeless and neglected pets
(1017)

For over seventy years, the Lynchburg Humane Society has operated as a private, non-profit organization, caring for lost and homeless pets. Last year, our Lynchburg Center for Pets cared for 3,811 pets and 93% of the pets went to new or existing homes. We are a 501c3, as well as a No Kill Humane Society, where we firmly believe that no healthy or treatable pet should be euthanized. By operating th

e public shelter for the City of Lynchburg, we accept the lost or unwanted pets surrendered to us from those communities. We help pets at risk for euthanasia at other shelters by transferring them into our care. Last year, 885 pets were brought to safety at LHS from other shelters. We accept those that are easily adoptable as pets, as well as those that need special nurturing from abusive or neglectful experiences. Along with our Center for Pets, we also have a regional spay/neuter clinic which performs over 6,000 spay/neuter surgeries annually It is the help of the community that makes our life-saving programs possible. Mission: Help pets in need through sheltering, adoption, education, spay/neuter, and community outreach.

Legolas is the kind of dog everyone hopes for—calm, affectionate, and easy to be around! He always knows when to offer a quiet nuzzle or lean in for a comforting moment. Always eager to see his friends, he’ll greet you with a big smile and his whole body wagging. Whether he’s relaxing in a sunny spot or walking calmly by your side, he makes every moment a little better just by being there.

Legolas is 4 years old, potty trained, and good with dogs!

If you’re interested in Legolas, stop on by the Lynchburg Humane Society between the hours of 12-7 on Weekdays and 11-5 throughout the Weekend!!

We have so many wonderful adoptions to share!

Nearly all of the puppies from our 12 dog surrender have found loving homes. One of our long stays Mylo got adopted, we’ve had a few foster fails (successes), and our sweet old gal Molly Brown who was found outside sick was adopted into a loving home!

Thank you so much to everyone who has adopted so far this year. And thank you Piedmont Floor Show for being this month’s sponsors.
