Can I contract COVID-19 from my pet?

The American Veterinary Medical Association says there's currently NO evidence of that.

Fur/hair can hold the virus (just like clothing can) so refrain from touching other people's pets.

In an effort to keep folks home, we have updated our COVID-19 plan:

Unfortunately, LRHS will not be conducting adoptions until after May 4th.

If you need to surrender your pet, we can still help; call in advance to set an appointment. 

If you find a stray pet, contact your local police department. They will send an officer to collect the pet and deliver it to our 24/7 pet hold.

If your pet has gone missing, please call LRHS and your police department to report it. 

Our southern dog transport program has been placed on hold. 

The Annual Spring Fashion Show Fundraiser has been rescheduled from Fri. June 12th to Fri. Oct. 9th.

We have called off volunteers.

We ask that you refrain from delivering in kind items such as towels and blankets which can harbor the virus. We are accepting donations of unopened pet food which we will sanitize and re-distribute to pets in need.

We are doing ALL we can to stretch our limited funding during this time of financial uncertainty.

We have a small and hard-working family of employees who have humbly volunteered to take time off. They have been understanding and flexible through this difficult time and we are moved by their bravery and dedication to the cause. With their help, we have reduced staff hours by 50% while continuing to provide quality care for homeless pets daily.

Things are quiet here...we miss you and are thinking of you.

We hope you can continue to support us however you are able as we all wobble forward together.
