Archie hit the trails today on a field trip with our friends at Pawsitivity Pet Services! His field tripper said the following about Archie:

"What a treat to meet sweet Archie today! He is such a love! 🥰

Archie was so excited for his field trip and couldn't wait to get to the park. We had a great hike around Morven. He enjoyed sniffing through the leaves and listening to the sounds of the forest. Archie was great on the leash and responded well to basic commands. He is such a happy boy! 💙 He took care of all his business.

When we got back to the car Archie jumped right in and gave me some thank you kisses. I gave him some more loves and a treat. Archie was amazing! ♥️ I hope he gets adopted soon."

Interested in meeting Archie? We're open 11am-6pm daily! Stop by and ask staff about him today.

Can you help Kaan find his person?

Kaan is a 9 years old, 100+ lbs gentle giant who has lived his life on a farm with cows, chickens, hogs, goats, barn cats, and other Anatolian Shepherds. He’s an experienced farmhand who knows the livestock guardian life!

While Kaan has spent most of his time outdoors, he is also a social guy who loves spending time with people. His favorite activities? Getting soft scritches behind his ears from our youth volunteers and resting his giant head in your lap when he’s hoping for a few more.

Kaan is looking for a home that understands his livestock guardian roots and can offer him the right environment to enjoy and relax in his golden years. Could you be the one to give this sweet senior the peaceful retirement he deserves? Can you share this post to help Kaan find his people?

Interested in adopting Kaan? Come meet him at LCAS! We are open every day from 11am-6pm, no appointments needed!

Hiking? Walks in the woods? Exploring the trails? Sign Lova up!

Lova's season is definitely fall. 🍂 She loves a crisp morning, the crunch of the leaves under her paws and swinging by the drive-through for a pup-cup! Lova has lived with other dogs before and enjoys going on group walks here at the shelter. Her field trip volunteers report that she is a joy to have on the trails, walks politely on the leash and is a great passenger in the car.

Interested in meeting her? We are open 11am-6pm daily and no appointments are needed! Stop by and ask about Lova today.

Do you like belly rubs, zoomy wiggles and playing fetch until your arm falls off?
Archie might just be your soul-dog! 🐶🥎🥰

Archie LOVES to play! He LOVES to show off his ever-growing bag of tricks (sit, down, touch, shake and spin just to name a few)! And he LOVES to strut around the shelter demanding belly rubs and pets from every staff member and volunteer he meets!

If your ideal BFF is playful, clever and always ready to make you laugh, Archie is ready to meet you! Stop by the shelter, we are open 11am-6pm daily! No appointments needed!

This fall was busy for our team with staff presenting at the Virginia Animal Control Association State Conference and the Virginia Animal Control Academy.

Director Stively, Deputy Chief Smokoska and Senior Humane Law Enforcement Officer Hernandez shared their expertise on topics including livestock husbandry and handling, crime scene investigation, evidence collection and processing and state laws governing shelters and rescues.

We’re grateful for the opportunities to share what we’ve learned, learn from our peers, and continue working together to improve the lives of animals and the people who care for them.
