https://linktr.ee/lynchburghumane Vision: A community free of homeless and neglected pets
(1018)

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.

This girl is a fighter! Back in December, Star came to us after she was hit by a car. Sheā€™s been on quite a journey since, but support from our staff, her amazing foster, and help from the community gave her the strength and resilience to keep going!

When Star was first found, she was rushed to Animal Emergency and Critical Care by a caring community member. Her jaw was broken, and it appeared her leg had suffered trauma as well. Their staff immediately went into surgery, resetting her jaw and locking it in place with a wire. After surgery, they sent her to us for care. Once she arrived, our staff gave her a thorough exam, to which she responded with purrs, a testament to her strong will. After a deeper look into her leg injury, we discovered nerve damage, which left her leg partially paralyzed. Even after weeks of treatments, she was still unable to use her leg.

Our veterinarians decided an amputation would be the most comfortable option for Star. Thankfully, sheā€™s had an amazing foster who has been with her every step of the way, and this time was no different. She can attest that Star stayed strong through it all! Here is what she has to say about her little super Star: ā€œThis little girl is beyond words remarkable!! She has been through so much in her short little life, however continues to amaze me every day! She is the sweetest, happiest kitten, she is spunky and fun. She is still gaining back her mobility and strength, but nothing is stopping Star!ā€

Today, Star is at Petco, waiting for her next adventure to begin! While her time at LHS may be coming to an end, we will never stop needing support for kitties like her. We are so grateful for her foster and anyone who can contribute to her care! We would also like to shout out Orphan Kitten Club for their amazing grant to our Foster Department. The new and improved ā€˜Mighty Cat Foster Marketā€™ has made a huge difference in the care we can provide to kittens like Star.

This week Royality went on a big adventure to the ABC-13 studio for their Living in the Heart of Virginia-LHOV special. She will appear on TV this Friday at 12:30pm if you want to take a look, but for now, hereā€™s a little bit about her.

This girl got her name for a reason - she is truly a queen in every sense of the word. Royalty is nine years old but you wouldnā€™t know it! While she does get along with kids and other dogs, Royalty is not super playful and she loves being the center of attention. After all, whatā€™s a queen without her throne? Royaltyā€™s favorite activities include relaxing with her friends, showing affection, and going for car rides. Although her big size just means that there is more of her to love, she is currently on a weight loss diet and would greatly benefit from having someone help her exercise and reach her goals!

If you would like to crown this girl as the queen of your household, please stop by the Center to meet her! We are open on weekdays from 12pm to 7pm and weekends from 11am to 5pm. We canā€™t wait for her to receive the royal treatment she deserves šŸ©·

Can you believe this guy used to live outside??

This lap-loving couch potato was found outside in Bedford County not too long ago. He needed a dental so he was transferred from Bedford County Animal Shelter to the Center for Pets. When he arrived it was clear as day this ā€œTigerā€ was more of a flirt than he was meant for the jungle.

Tiger is approximately 3 years old, neutered, good with other cats, and oh so sweet! Pictured here you can see him sitting on his thrown of soft blankets and pillows while he waits for potential adopters to come meet him.

Donā€™t keep him waiting, come adopt Tiger today. Just stop by anytime or email [email protected] with questions!
