It’s Rachel Ray to the rescue for some local pets. The Lynchburg Humane Society has received a Rachel Ray “Save Them All” grant to transfer at-risk pets in Campbell County to Lynchburg, which is a no-kill shelter. Officials say the goal is to transfer in 200 more cats and dogs than they did last year from Campbell County, care for them, and adopt them out.
Here’s more from the Lynchburg Humane Society:
[Lynchburg, VA] — Lynchburg Humane Society is pleased to have received a Rachael Ray Save Them All grant
from Best Friends Animal Society for its Transfer to Happiness program to help save the lives of more adoptable
pets living in Campbell County.
“This grant allows us to transfer more at-risk pets from Campbell County improving the number of lives saved
in that area,” said Claire LeFew, Development and Communications Manager at LHS. “Our goal will be to
transfer in 200 more cats and dogs than we did last year from Campbell County and care for them and adopt
them out from our Center to loving homes. We appreciate the support of Best Friends Animal Society in
making this possible.”
The Lynchburg Humane Society is an active partner in Best Friends Network which offers help and support to
