Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Salted Caramel- My favorite combination-salt and sweet! She's about 2yo. She came to foster needing socialization. She not really a part of the swat club-she's more of a scoot and hide kind of girl. She has a ways to go but if you are patient, love a challenge and have a sense of humor, she would be great in your home.
"Salty doesn't love to be touched or looked at-or so she tries to make you think. She has made a lot of progress and has warmed up to and tolerated being petted and even allows some short glances her way. She has gone from not allowing even a glance or a reach out of a hand to playing with things being held by her foster mom's hand and accepting pets and even some to looks her way and even initiating some interaction. She doesn't seem frightened. Salty definitely has rules of engagement and is strict about how they are followed. The key is when she initiates interaction...just act natural and don't make a big deal about it! Do you remember Barry Manilow's song "Weekend in New England, ("When will our eyes meet? When can I touch you,?...). It's been the theme song for Salted Caramel and her Foster Mom.
Salted Caramel is a huge fan of her treats Delectible Lickables. These treats have been useful in getting Salted Caramel to accept pets and she'll even stand (2 feet) on her foster mom's lap while eating the treat.
Salty loves to play chase with other cats, but she also will entertain herself. She likes to play with toys, climb, and watch cartoon fish videos and look out the window/stand in the window sill. She and Squeaks have a special relationship. They are not always together, but Salted Caramel will rub up against Squeaks, they'll lay down together, and Salty even jumped in between Squeaks and another cat to keep Squeaks from running into that cat and from likely being swatted and hissed at.
Salted Caramel's foster mom thinks she is pretty special and finds her personality to be fun-even when being avoided.

*Certain dogs and puppies may have a higher adoption fee due to size and breed.
The process is simple; you come and visit with the pet you are interested in, we review your adoption form and you can take them home that day. If the pet is not spayed or neutered then we will set you up with an appointment for our transport to our clinic. Please bring with you a photo ID and you are welcome to bring in your dog to do an introduction with your new pet.
We have dedicated volunteers and staff who can help you choose the right match for your family just ask for assistance and let us know what your needs are and we can help you find your next friend.
Placing an animal on ‘hold’: The Lynchburg Humane Society wants your adoption experience to be as pleasant and as stress-free as possible which is why we allow potential adopters to place holds on animals so that they can take their time making adoption decisions, introducing family members and other pets, and researching breed traits. Holds may be placed over the phone or in person, and in the case of a “tie”, the individual physically visiting the shelter and the animal will be awarded the first hold on the pet. Adoption holds may only be placed during business hours by speaking with a team member and paying the hold fee.

More about this shelter
For over fifty years, the LHS has operated as a private, non-profit organization, caring for lost and homeless pets. Last year, we cared for 3,981 pets and 96% of the pets went to new or existing homes. We are a No Kill Humane Society and a 501c3. By operating the public shelter for the City of Lynchburg and Appomattox County, we accept the stray or unwanted pets surrendered to us from those communities. We also have developed a more regional/state level focus. In 2016 we helped 602 pets from other public shelters that otherwise may have had a negative outcome. We accept those that are easily adoptable as pets, as well as those that need special nurturing from abusive or neglectful experiences. We firmly believe that no healthy or treatable pet should be euthanized. Along with our Center for Pets we also have a regional spay/neuter clinic located in Evington, VA. The spay/neuter clinic serves Lynchburg, Campbell, Nelson, Rockbridge, Appomattox, Bedford and Amherst Counties. It is the help of the community that makes our life-saving programs possible.
Mission: Help pets in need thru sheltering, adoption, education, spay/neuter and community outreach.
Vision: A community free of homeless and neglected pets.
