My name is Martha!

The Louisa Humane Society has animals of every breed, shape, age, color, size, temperament...all they need is a safe, loving, responsible family to call their own. Will you open your heart and your home to one of these amazing creatures?

Are you looking for a particular breed? Did you know that animals shelters often have purebreds?

Are you looking for an absolute one-of-a-kind mix? You'll find them here. Not one breed, but a fascinating and gorgeous mix of several.

Please complete our adoption application online at www.louisahumanesociety.com and one of our volunteers will follow up with you as soon as possible.

We MUST receive a completed application for you to be considered to adopt or arrange a meeting with any pet in foster care. Approval to adopt is contingent upon completing an informal interview with an adoptions counselor and approved vet and/or personal references, and landlord check if applicable.

The Louisa Humane Society (LHS) was founded in 2001 by concerned citizens who believe that healthy, adoptable animals who are orphaned should not be euthanized. Over the years a partnership has formed between Louisa County and LHS which has resulted in improvements to the County’s shelter facility and staffing upgrades at the shelter. The euthanization rate at the county shelter continues to decrease each year as dogs and cats are taken in to LHS foster homes and given time to find wonderful new families and forever homes.

The volunteers that make up the LHS believe that healthy, adoptable animals do not need to be euthanized if spay and neuter programs are supported, aggressive adoption programs are implemented, and a public educational campaign on responsible pet ownership is launched within the community.

We depend on volunteers and welcome anyone who loves animals and who is willing to give a little time to the effort. The Louisa Humane Society is incorporated and has non-profit 501(c)(3) status. We accept tax deductible gifts.
