Welcome to The Humane Society for Campbell County

Not Us...

The Campbell County Animal Control and Care Facility is what we also term "the pound," or the "impound facility." This building, located behind Yellow Branch Elementary School, is mistakenly thought to be a no-kill animal shelter; however, due to the numbers of animals who pass through it doors, that is not yet a reality. This facility is operated by Campbell County Animal Control Officers, who are often assisted by volunteers from The Humane Society for Campbell County, Inc. This location is where all animals that are picked up as strays or dropped off by County citizens will stay until their holding time of 5 to 10 days is up. It is under the superivision and direction of the Public Safety Division of Campbell County.

Who We Are... 

The Humane Society for Campbell County, Inc., is a group of volunteers who assist in care at the inpound facility, and take cats and dogs from there into foster homes, or to temporary holding facilities locally, while we look for homes for them. The HSCC does not have its own adoption facility, but are fortunate to have adoption options in the Lynchburg area by placing cats at the Petsmart Adoption Center for cats, and taking dogs to adoption Meet and Greet events at that same locality.

Volunteers are needed for dog walking and socialization at various holding areas in the county, as well as at Petsmart. Cat lovers might enjoy spending time at the cat holding facility and at the Petsmart Adoption Center, too. Contact us at info@humanecampbell.org to volunteer YOUR time.

Our volunteers ove working and helping at the pound, where the animals come initially, but it is not for everyone. We do have some loyal volunteers who also help there regularly. One volunteer also runs her own rescue, Harmony Ranch and Rescue. She has some long-term foster dogs as well as puppies and moms, and some special needs dogs. She needs volunteers to help keep the dogs on a regular schedule, just like a real home.

Another volunteer has just opened up yet another home to us for keeping dogs, that we call the Green Dog House. It is a short-term holding facility for dogs who have just come from spays and neuters, and puppies who need some extra TLC before they are placed. Our goal here is to have animals stay less than 30 days before moving on to a rescue or a home.

Contact us today if you would like to volunteer some of your free time.

MEET SOME OF OUR VERY SPECIAL PETS

Every couple of weeks we will be spotlighting some of our dogs and cats who have been having a more difficult time finding a home. This might be because they are shy, quiet, don't seem to get as much exposure, or just not as outgoing as some of our some animals. So without further ado, here are our two profiled pets.

OREO			HILDY
Oreo's owner passed away and a neighbor hung onto him for nearly a month making him stay mostly outside. Oreo came to us severely depressed and dehydrated. A little bit of fluids and lots of TLC have rehabbed him into one lovely cat. He is older (probably around 8 years old) but he's spunky and LOVES attention. Click here for more information on Oreo			Hildy has returned to us after having been adopted several months ago. She has a lot of energy that needs to be guided through positive reinforcement training sessions, which are offered locally to folks who adopt from us. Hildy is a wonderful who needs a chance in a loving forever home. Will you give her that chance? Click here for more information on Hildy
