Lynchburg (Virginia) Humane Society's Foster Dog Program

This site tells the story of one of the Foster Dogs at the Lynchburg Humane Society. If you're interested in adopting a dog this site will give you lots of information about our current Foster Dog who is available for immediate adoption. We want to provide you with honest and complete information so you can make a really good decision about whether this dog is right for you.

Fenris is a wonderful dog. It is absolutely not possible to judge him accurately when he's living at the shelter.   His behavior there is vastly different than it is at home. Over the past several weeks we have developed a strong bond with him because of his charm and affection, and his behavior has improved greatly.  There is no doubt that we would keep this dog in our family forever if our schedules allowed us to have him. 

If you decide that Fenris would be a good addition to your family we will be very happy to consult with you and help you manage the transition into your household.  Although you probably won't need any help from us because he's such a great dog!
