It's time for our popular Valentine's fundraiser; Kiss A Cat, Smooch A Pooch.
We have plenty of pets here at the shelter that are looking for love. Donate a "kiss" to your favorite shelter pets all month long. The cat and dog with the most "kisses" will have their adoption fees waived!

February is Pet Dental Health Month!
Did you know your pet’s dental health plays a huge role in their overall well-being? Dental disease doesn’t just cause bad breath—it can lead to pain, infections, tooth loss, and even impact the heart, liver, and kidneys if left untreated.

That’s why regular dental cleanings and timely extractions are so important.
At our Community Vet Clinic, we’re proud to offer high-quality dental cleanings and extractions at an affordable cost, because every pet deserves relief from dental pain and access to compassionate veterinary care.

If your pet has bad breath, red gums, trouble eating, or you’re just not sure when their last dental exam was, Pet Dental Health Month is the perfect time to schedule an appointment.

📞 Call us today to learn more or book your pet’s dental care!

We are so excited to introduce Andrea, our new Director of Animal Training & Behavior! Andrea is an ABC Dog Trainer with a master’s degree in animal behavior. She will focus on providing our shelter animals with healthy mental and physical enrichment such as regular puzzle toys, scent work, obedience training, dog playgroups, pack walks, and more!

This work is crucial to keep our animals happy and healthy in the shelter environment. This is particularly important for our large dogs, who typically stay in our shelter for months and months before adoption.

Please welcome Andrea to the LVHS community!

Happy !

Reunions are hands-down the best part of our week. Nothing compares to the moment a lost pet is back in the arms of their family. To keep these reunions fast and stress-free, make sure your pet’s microchip and ID tag information is always up to date. Take some time today to check that your information is correct.

Meet Pixel!

This tiny guy came to us with a URI that affected the vision in one eye, but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit.

Pixel is still a silly, playful kitten who’s ready to pixel-ate someone’s heart and find a loving home. Meet Pixel today!

Join us for a pop up event at the East Side Youth Center, where your pet can receive a distemper vaccine, a rabies vaccine, and a microchip for FREE!

These core vaccines are very important to your pet’s health, and microchips help them find their way home if they are ever lost. Microchips will be registered with your information by LVHS staff.

We are at capacity for dog registrations, but are still open for cat registrations. Please reach out to us at [email protected]. Pre-registration is required for this event.

Vaccines are administered under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.

Thank you to Petco Love Vaccinated and Loved grant campaign for the distemper vaccines!

Thank you to KAHM Pest Solutions for sponsoring this event!
