🐾 Rover Spotlight! 🐾
Rover 🖤 a stunning dark shepherd who’s been with us for 5 months, and we honestly can’t believe he’s still here.
He might have a big bark when you first meet him… but don’t let that fool you, because Rover is ALL baby 🥹💙
This handsome guy is a total sweetheart, a gentle lapdog at heart, and would love nothing more than to be your oversized best friend.
✨ Come meet Rover and see for yourself… he’s ready to trade shelter life for forever cuddles. 🐶🏡 ... 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
