LCHS Open House
Have you ever been interested in getting a behind the scenes look at what goes on in our shelter? From what happens when a pet comes into our intake department to how our staff maintains a clean and healthy environment for our pets. We want our community to see how the donations they give impact the lives of the thousands of pets in our care each year. So make sure to save the date for our Open House coming to you July 17th from 1-4pm! We can't wait to see you there!
Empty the Shelters

Empty the Shelters is back this month and the BISSELL Pet Foundation is sponsoring adoption fees again! This means, all adoption-ready (spayed/neutered) pets will have waived adoption fees. This special starts on July 11th, so get ready!
You can apply online to get preapproved! Thank you to the Bissell Pet Foundation for this wonderful opportunity again to Empty the Shelters!

Summer of Second Chances

When you donate to Summer of Second Chances, you make it possible to save the lives of countless numbers of homeless pets in the community. Your donations go towards helping us with food, medical care, transports, bedding and so much more. You can save the life of a pet in need today by donating here: https://buff.ly/3N6OM9n. Help us reach our goal of $50,000 by the end of August!
Pet Tip of the Month: Be Safe During Fireworks!
On the Fourth of July, many animals become so frightened by the noise and commotion of fireworks that they run from otherwise familiar environments and people, and sadly become lost. They may also suffer devastating or even fatal health effects from the stress. Pets are more sensitive to loud noises, flashing lights and strong smells. On the Fourth of July, and other days people are likely to set off fireworks, it's best to leave your pets safely indoors, preferably with a radio or TV turned on to soften jarring noises. If you're unable to leave your pet unattended at home, keep them leashed and under your direct control at all times.

Did you know that you can always view our most needed items on our wishlist by heading over to Amazon? We keep our lists updated with everything we may need to help care for the pets in our shelter. You don't have to order from Amazon and can always go pick up items and drop them off during our business hours. View the wishlists here!
Need a companion to go on lunch dates with? Or maybe just a coffee run? How about someone to cuddle with you on the couch for the day while you binge watch the new season of Stranger Things? Look no further than our Doggy Date Program! Approved volunteers can come by the shelter, pick up a canine companion and take them on a day date. It's a great way for our dogs to get the enrichment they need to stay happy and healthy while also providing you with a furry friend to accompany you for the day. Interested?
