The Lynchburg Humane Society is leading the way in providing a compassionate, safe community for animals and people through progressive life-saving programs, services, and education. We believe in building a world free of homeless and neglected pets by finding happiness together.
For over seventy years, our organization has served as a private, non-profit refuge for lost and homeless pets. We proudly operate as a no-kill shelter, firmly believing that every healthy or treatable pet deserves a chance at a loving home.
Our work is anchored at our Center for Pets, where we provide shelter and care for surrendered, lost, or abused animals, alongside transfer support for pets from other shelters. Beyond our primary facility, we operate a regional spay/neuter clinic to proactively support the community’s animal welfare needs. Our team is dedicated to providing specialized care and creating a safe, welcoming environment for every animal while they await their forever families.
We see adoption as a joyful, collaborative journey between you and your new companion. Our Adoption Counselors are here to guide you through a thoughtful matching process, helping you find a pet that truly fits your unique lifestyle and environment. We even offer a 30-day adoption trial period to ensure that the transition into your home is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Are you ready to find your new best friend? We invite you to visit our Center for Pets to meet our adoptable residents, or browse our available pets online. Whether you are looking to adopt, foster, or volunteer, there are many ways to get involved and make a lasting impact on the lives of local pets.
