Meet Scamp 🐾💛
Scamp is a 2–3 year old tan Wirehair Fox Terrier with a big, happy personality and a whole lot of love to give! He’s energetic, playful, and affectionate, and he’s always ready to be right by your side whether you’re heading out for an adventure or relaxing at home. Scamp gets along with cats and dogs. Scamp would do best with a family who can keep him active, give him attention, and enjoy his fun-loving terrier spirit.
If you’re looking for a loyal little sidekick with a sweet heart and lots of pep, Scamp is your guy! 🐶✨ ... See MoreSee Less

✨ Humans of LCHS ✨
This year, we really want to highlight the people behind the shelter — the ones who keep everything running, whether their role feels big or small (spoiler: it all matters). First up is Lexi 💙
Lexi is our newest kennel tech, but she’s been part of the LCHS family for a long time through fostering. She is hardworking, always willing to learn, and truly cares about the individual animals and their well-being. Shelter work is a lot more than what people see, and Lexi is always ready to jump in wherever she’s needed.
This work isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, but we appreciate the positive people who show up anyway — and Lexi is definitely one of those. She knows all the animals by name and their stories, and she brings so much care and compassion into the shelter every single day.
And just as importantly, Lexi always brings the humor and sarcasm that gets us through the toughest days — because sometimes laughter is just as necessary as hard work.
📸 Pictured here with Cleo, our 1-year-old lab mix who is available for adoption (Cleo is looking for a home — Lexi is not 😂).
Humans of LCHS is about celebrating the people who make this place what it is. Thank you, Lexi, for always showing up for our animals. 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
