SUNDAYS AT THE SHELTER ADOPTION EVENT rain or shine this Sunday, October 11 from 10 am to 12 noon at the Henrico County Police Animal Shelter, 10421 Woodman Road, Glen Allen, VA. Dogs, cats, and kittens available to meet and adopt without an appointment.

All pets are eligible for same-day adoption and those who are already spayed/neutered and vaccinated may go home on Sunday. Medical expenses are sponsored by Furbish Thrift so the adoption fee is only $10.

The shelter is located just off I295 in the Richmond area and easy to get to from anywhere. Just an hour and a half drive from Northern Virginia and 50 minutes from Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, and Williamsburg.

Pictured are just some of the available pets. Please visit the link in the comments to see them all, and check back in the comments over the next couple of days to see newly-available pets.

Note: All of these pets are under the care of the Henrico County Police Animal Shelter and it is not necessary to submit a Henrico Humane Society adoption application. Just call the shelter or come to our event to meet and adopt.

Rica is a gentle, loving dog who has endured significant hardship this year and now needs the community’s help to receive critical medical care. In March, an unexpected housing change forced her family to surrender her to the Petersburg Animal Shelter while she was suffering from severe infections in both eyes. Her right eye tragically had to be removed in early April.

Despite pain and an unfamiliar environment, Rica remained remarkably affectionate, even giving her doctor a gentle kiss while being treated. A specialist determined her remaining left eye could be saved, but it still suffers from severe inflammation, conjunctivitis, and dry eye, requiring multiple daily drops. She also tested positive for heartworm and is undergoing a year-long treatment plan.

In September, HHS stepped in to ensure she gets the care she needs. Unfortunately, her left eye remains painful, and she is scheduled for surgery this month to protect her vision and comfort, with costs expected around $2,000.

Community donations are urgently needed to help cover her medical expenses. Please see the comments to donate and help Rica live free from pain and find her forever home.

Get ready for a heartwarming Saturday because your next best friend is waiting for you! This weekend on October 10th from 11 AM to 2 PM, we are hosting an incredible dog adoption event at Furbish Thrift. It is the absolute best excuse to combine your love for thrifting with finding a loyal companion to bring home.

We have some truly wonderful souls looking for their forever families. Come meet the adorable bonded pair Twix and Eclair, who come as a package deal of double the love and cuddles. You will also get the chance to hang out with the sweet and energetic Bailey as well as the charming Phoenix. Whether you are looking to expand your furry family or simply want to support a great cause by browsing the shop and meeting our rescue pups, we would love to see you there. Stop by, do some shopping, and let us help you find a lifelong friend! If you're interested in meeting any of these pups, please email [email protected] to confirm the exact time they'll be there.

Dez is a full-size, 6-year-old neutered male German Shepherd dog available for adoption at the Henrico County Police Animal Shelter. He's house trained, easy to walk on the leash, gentle with people and good with other dogs. He arrived at the shelter with Lucy, a younger female, who was quickly adopted and Dez is still waiting for his moment. If you love older, lower-energy GSDs who are affectionate companions and whose exercise needs are satisfied with leash walking, call the shelter at 804-727-8807 Monday through Saturday between the hours of 10 am and 4:30 pm to make an appointment to meet Dez.

We rescued senior Chihuahuas Remi and Toto from a shelter where they had spent those five years waiting for their chance. After three weeks with their foster mom, who helped them recover both physically and emotionally from their long shelter stay, these sweet pups were adopted by a couple who are dedicated to giving senior Chihuahuas loving homes.

They’ll spend the rest of their lives safe, cherished, and surrounded by plenty of Chihuahua brothers and sisters.

Rescue work can bring heartbreak when we encounter animals who have spent years waiting for a family. But it also brings incredible joy—especially when we get to see a dog’s story finally have the happy ending they deserve.

You can help us make more happy endings possible! If you’re interested in giving a dog or cat a safe place to land while they wait for their forever home, please email [email protected].

Warning: Chief executive snuggle officer on duty! Meet five-month-old Fudge... a professional human shadow and the sweetest little gentleman you will ever meet. Unlike typical energetic kittens, Fudge has a remarkably calm, gentle personality and almost never plays with his claws out. He would much rather curl up right beside you than cause any chaos.

He completely adores his people and loves to be nearby, acting as a tiny, furry coworker who offers zero productivity but elite companionship. He gets along wonderfully with kids and other cats, loves lap snuggles, and takes his job as an expert snack critic very seriously.

Fudge is low-maintenance, affectionate, and looking for a loving family—ideally where someone is home often so he doesn't have to miss you. Ready to welcome this sweet soul into your heart and home? Fill out an application on our website (see comments)!
