It takes a village to save pets—and help us recover from a crime.

💔 LRHS was the victim of a recent break-in. Our hearts were broken and our team overwhelmed. But we weren’t alone.

❤️‍🩹The Ossipee, NH Police Department stepped in with dedication, and compassion. While one naughty cat-napper caused harm, many good people came together to make things right—and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

🐾This is what community looks like.

🙏 And a heartfelt thank you to Alice and Charlie, the foster parents of all three stolen cats. Two are home safe—but April is still missing and they/we are VERY concerned for her.

🐱 If you have any information that could lead to April’s safe return, please call LRHS or the Ossipee Police Department at 603-539-1077. You can remain anonymous.

Do you know me? Big black in tact male reportedly "hanging around" for some time in the Elm St area in Effingham. Trapped and brought in today. His nose likely got banged up while in protest over his surprise confinement. If you are missing a cat from this area and think he may be your please contact us.

What an absolutely fantastic week it’s been here! We had a flurry of adorable kitten and cat adoptions that melted our hearts — and the best part? Our sweet, silly sisters Dumpling and Duchess both found their forever home together... now known as Mako and Bear! 🏡❤️🐶🐶

We’re so grateful to everyone who took time out of their busy week to come by, snuggle, and fall in love with our furry crew. Your visits, shares, and support help us make these happily-ever-afters possible every single week.

Here’s to fresh starts, new names, and lots of cuddles ahead! Thank you for being part of our rescue family! 🐱🐾💙

Many thanks to REVO Casino in Conway, NH for hosting our first of a few 30th Birthday celebrations this year!

Not only did they supply the fun but they donated just over $18,000 to support the care of displaced pets at LRHS.

Happy 30th Birthday, indeed!

It was nice to see our volunteer and staff teams hanging out and relaxing (for once) 🐾 🍰 💰

A big thank you to the Tamworth Girl Scouts for their incredible donation of pet supplies following a successful drive! 🐾💚

These compassionate young leaders not only collected much-needed items for our shelter pets—they also took time to visit and meet some of the grateful kitties their efforts will help care for. 😻

We’re so appreciative of your generosity and heart for animals. Keep up the amazing work, girls!

🎉UPDATE: These beautiful little girls have left together to their fur-ever home!!🎉

Now Available: ✨Meet our dynamic puppy duo, Duchess & Dumpling! ✨

They are NOT a bonded pair

🐾 Duchess is a 3-month-old small mixed breed with the perfect blend of sweet gentleness and wild puppy energy. She adores being cute (which she’s VERY good at), soaking up affection from anyone willing to share it, and—most impressively—patiently tolerating her sister’s antics!

🐾 Dumpling, also a 3 months old, is the ultimate sweet wild child! She loves stirring up fun with her sister, racing around the yard, and winning over everyone she meets with her bubbly personality.

Both girls are big fans of the water and would love a family who enjoys puppy playtime, splashes, and snuggles. There is no age requirement for children at this time.

💙If you'd like to meet them, please submit an adoption application and set an appointment with us via https://lrhs.net/adopt-a-pet/

I asked, "who's the bestest boy?" Percy insisted it was Sirius and Sirius persisted that it was Percy. These guys are as humble as they are handsome🫶🏼

🎉🐾 We’re bursting with joy over the amazing adoptions we’ve had these past few weeks! 🐾🎉

Even with all the 4th of July holiday madness, so many wonderful people still stopped by to spend time with our adorable cats and kittens — and many found their new forever friends! 🏠✨

We’re especially excited to share that lots of kittens have gone home recently, plus three lucky pups found families of their own too! 🐶❤️🐱

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who opened their hearts and homes to our animals. You truly make a difference! 💕

If you’re still thinking about adding a furry family member, we’ve got more sweethearts waiting to meet you — come visit! 🐾
