UPDATE: TOBY HAS BEEN REUNITED WITH HIS OWNER!   My name is Tobie and I'm a nice West Highland White Terrier.  I went out for a walk on Cottontown Rd in Forest, VA on Saturday November 5 and a kind lady picked me up so I wouldn't get hit by a car. I had a great weekend: went to doggie daycare, had a bath and my nails were clipped. I'm having a sleepover with two other terriers until I can get home. I'm really friendly but so far no one seems to know where I live. I have a name tag with phone numbers that aren't in service. I'm on facebook, craigslist and the Bedford Humane Society's website. Westie Rescue will be coming to pick me up soon. If you know who my people are, would you tell them I'm ready to come home now? -Thanks, Tobie

Lake Vista in Forest VA Lake Vista a great community, its in Forest Va on the eastern edge of Bedford County just outside of the City of Lynchburg. Originally founded in 1984, the Lake Vista neighborhood includes single family homes, townhouses and condominiums. It has multiple lakes, amazing views of the mountains and almost 25 acres of park like meadows. There is a large community center with space for meetings, events.
