Every animal deserves a chance. And every community deserves a shelter system that works.

The truth is that open-admission shelters can save more lives while continuing to serve every pet that needs help. Danville deserves these proven, lifesaving solutions.

Take action today: Send a message to Danville's elected officials and urge them to support policies that help more pets find homes and families stay together.

Thank you Lynchburg Humane Society for giving the pets of Danville a second chance at life.

This video from Lynchburg Humane Society is heartbreaking, but important.

Hearing directly from Eve’s owner makes it even clearer that Eve was loved, wanted, and had people ready to help her. Her death was not inevitable, it was preventable. We are deeply grateful for everyone who continues to speak up, seek transparency, and ensure Eve’s story is not forgotten. Eve deserved the chance to come home.

Please watch, share, then sign the petition demanding accountability from Danville City Council. 🔗 tinyurl.com/evedeservedbetter

This is what leadership looks like. Using their platform to spotlight adoptable animals and encourage their community to engage with and support their local shelter.

Elected officials at every level should be advocating for the shelter animals in their districts and helping ensure their local shelters operate with transparency, compassion, and accountability. This is why we continue asking Danville City Council to take an active role in holding the local shelter to a higher standard. With this kind of attention and public engagement, we hope that what happened to Eve will never happen to another shelter animal in Danville.

Shelters have gotten creative at finding new ways to get the communities they serve involved in lifesaving measures. These programs can be fun and attract more people into becoming involved in the shelter. Check out the article below on how Lynchburg has adopted a great approach to their shelter animals!

So how does Lynchburg’s shelter, and countless other shelters save so many lives? They have evolved to embrace modern sheltering practices.
