a homeless pet (or two) for years!
By donating a Kuranda bed to a homeless
dog or cat you will provide a dry,
soft, comfortable place to sleep during
their time at the shelter. Donate a bed

Butler
County Humane Society is pleased to
welcome our new Executive Director
Lynette Vybiral to the team.
Lynette brings to the Butler County
Humane Society a wealth of non-profit
and fundraising knowledge. She got her
start at the Jewish Federation of
Greater Atlanta where she spent six
years in the Development Department
managing and participating in campaigns
and events, including an emergency
Capital Campaign and a community event
for over 7,000 people.
After moving back home to Pittsburgh in
2005, Lynette became the Director of
Individual Giving at Pittsburgh Opera
where she managed the mid and major
level donor accounts for the Opera, as
well as cultivation and appreciation
events for the donors.
Most recently, she worked at WQED
Pittsburgh, the local PBS station, in
the Development and Membership
Department. In addition to working with
the mid and major donors, she also
managed a partnership volunteer
appreciation event that recognizes
motivating individuals in the art
communities in Western Pennsylvania.
Her true inspiration and appreciation
for animals began with her orange tabby
Maine Coon, Oliver. While always an
animal lover, Oliver opened her heart
to the "language" of animals and her
house has never been without a pet
since. She is quite happily owned by 2
dogs and 4 cats and currently resides
in Avalon. |

About Us
The BCHS has been in operation for over 100 yrs
and has been a no kill shelter since 2000, made
possible with the committment of the board,
staff, and community. Since this committment to
life was established, we have saved the lives
of over 2,000 animals each year.
Because we are a non-profit, non-tax supported
facility, the BCHS is dependent upon private
donations for survival. The staff and
volunteers at the BCHS are deeply dedicated to
caring for the animals who come through the
shelter doors, and their love and caring help
the shelter animals through their inital stages
of fear, confusion, and loss.
All the shelter animals have been through some
difficult experiences. Losing their former home
and ending up at the shelter is not an easy
thing for any animal to go through. In addition
to the bewilderment of finding themselves at
our shelter, they often display signs that they
are grieving for their former human companions.
The routine at the shelter, while not the same
as a loving home, helps the animals adjust to
their new situation. But even with our very
best efforts to create an environment where the
shelter animals feel safe and not unhappy,
being in a cage in a shelter is a difficult
experience.
The BCHS, through its training and foster
programs, helps the animals begin to understand
what is expected of them in their interactions
with people. Mostly what they need is your
patience, understanding, and time to adjust to
their new surroundings.
Help us to continue our mission in helping
the neglected and abandoned animals by adopting
a shelter dog or cat today!
