Flat-coated Retriever : : Female : : Senior : : Large Learn more about the Flat-coated Retriever.
SUGAR BABY has still not been reclaimed, and quite frankly, we are wondering if she was deliberately abandoned. This lovely ten-year old lab or flat coat retriever was found in a ditch near Salem Methodist Church on Colonial Highway. She stayed with a kind resident over night, and was driven to the Campbell County Shelter the following morning. At some point during the day, we observed that she was in the midst of a full-blown seizure. She recovered within a half hour, but remained dazed and disoriented for a time following. Without health history, we can't move forward until her hold time is up, and even then, veterinarians will not treat seizures without testing and actual observation of occurrences of the incidents. SUGAR BABY really perked up yesterday when she was out with her friend Kim; when someone drove up to drop off a donation, SUGAR BABY ran to the vehicle, sat "pretty" and put her feet on the young woman! We don't have a clue if she smelled a familiar smell, saw a face that reminded her of her family, or if the vehicle was similar to the one she used to ride in. It was a startling reaction, and one that brought tears to our eyes. What has happened that no one will come for this regal senior who so desperately needs to be saved?
Our process begins with an application! Find it here: www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org
At this time, the application is not compatible with most portable devices.
ADOPTION GUIDELINES:
For animals in care at the Campbell County Shelter, the Code of Virginia stipulates that unsterilized pets may be adopted only to residents of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, or counties touching Campbell County. If you are a resident of one of these areas, you may adopt directly from the facility and have the pet spayed/neutered within 30 days, or by the time the pet is six months of age.
IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OUR LOCAL ADOPTION AREA: you may adopt, but the pet must be spayed or neutered before you can take it home.
For puppies or kittens too young to be spayed/neutered before adoption (under six months of age), you may adopt through Friends of Campbell County Animal Control. There is an adoption fee required for this process. We begin with an application. Go to www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org.
We ask that you have a veterinarian on record who can verify that your other pets were/are well-cared for, spay/neutered, and kept updated on their vaccines.
Pets identified as being “fostered” are available for a fee. Fees range from $50 to $300. Fostered pets are not at the Campbell County Shelter and the animal wardens may not be familiar with those pets. Again, we start with an application. Foster parents will contact the applicants about their applications. A meeting would be set up once the application has been received and approved.
Specific questions are most easily answered by email, info@friendsofcampbellcounty.org, or by leaving a voicemail for one of our volunteers at 434-485-6242.
