SUNDAYS AT THE SHELTER ADOPTION EVENT this Sunday August 9 from 10 am to 12 noon at the Henrico County Police Animal Shelter, 10421 Woodman Road. 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.

Unable to attend Sunday or worried that someone will beat you to your favorite pet? The shelter's regular hours are 10 - 4:30 Monday through Saturday. To make an appointment to meet any of their pets, call 804-727-8807 during their regular hours.

Not ready to commit to adoption or want to try a pet in your home before adopting? The shelter is undergoing renovations and we need both short-term and foster-to-adopt homes. If you would like to foster a dog, cat, or kitten, come to the event Sunday or email Cara at [email protected] to get started.

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.

Meet Miles and Turbo, two fantastic three-month-old kittens who are officially ready to start their next big adventures!

While both of these active little guys are resting up and skipping Kitten-o-Rama at Furbish Thrift this weekend, they are still eager to meet potential adopters. Even though they won't be at the event, both are available for individual meet and greets—just name your place and time, and we'll try to make it happen!

Miles (on the box) is a spirited gentleman with a delightfully fluffy, "just rolled out of bed" look that makes his wild toy-spring hunts and crinkle-toy battles impossibly cute. Once he wears himself out, he turns into a complete sweetheart who loves nothing more than curling up beside you for a cozy nap.

Turbo (offering his paw) completely lives up to his name, instantly launching into lightning-fast zoomies the moment his crate opens. When he isn't practicing his playful wrestling moves with the family dog, he shows his gentle heart by acting as a quiet little sidekick to his foster's daughter.

Whether you are looking for Miles' sweet mix of silly playtime and snuggly affection, or Turbo's high-speed antics and loving company, both kittens are ready to bring so much joy to their new families! Apply to adopt (see comments for website info) one of these fabulous felines today!

And come out to the Annex at Furbish this Saturday, between 11am and 2pm to meet 14 other available cats and kittens!

Guess what? Even MORE adorable kittens want in on the fun at our Kitten-O-Rama event this Saturday at the Annex at Furbish Thrift!

Get your application in BEFORE this Saturday so we can fast track your approval! You'll definitely wish you had after meeting these sweethearts!

We are thrilled to announce that Smoky, Clyde, Carmen, and Johnny have just confirmed they’ll be joining the party—bringing our total to 14 fabulous felines ready to steal your heart!

Plus, if you come out, you’ll get an exclusive chance to meet the elusive "coffee boys," Cappuccino and Espresso! These two handsome fellas are notoriously camera-shy and haven’t even been photographed yet—which means YOU can be the very first to meet them in person. ☕🐾

Don't wait! Get those applications submitted today, mark your calendars for Saturday, and come find your perfect match. See you at Furbish Thrift! ❤️

ADOPTION PENDING!
Meet Mabel, a sweet, six-year-old French Bulldog with a heart as big as her bat ears!

This affectionate, medium-energy girl is happiest whenever she's close to her favorite humans. In fact, she’s already stolen the heart of her foster dad with her irresistible charm.

Mabel is the ultimate lap dog and snuggle companion, living for cozy cuddle sessions, gentle belly rubs, and quality family time. Housetrained, crate trained, and a dream in the car and on a leash, she is as wonderfully well-mannered as she is loving.

Because she is both food and treat motivated, making new friends and learning the house routine is a breeze! Mabel is looking for a warm home with children over 10 where she can be included in everyday life, relax by your side, and soak up all the devotion she so freely gives.

Apply to adopt Mabel today by visiting our website (see comments)!

Drop everything and throw the ball—or a really big stick! Hopper is ready to play!

Say hello again to Hopper, a 4-year-old Black Lab mix who’s still patiently waiting in his foster home for his forever crew to find him. Hopper is pure sunshine in dog form, and if there’s fun to be had, he’s already right in the middle of it!

This affectionate, full-hearted boy loves people, endless cuddles, and greeting everyone with total enthusiasm. Hopper is playful, crate-trained, treat-motivated, and gets along well with other dogs, cats, and kids! Whether he’s fetching, chewing ropes, or learning new tricks for a gold star, he’s always eager to please.

Hopper would thrive in an active home with a fenced yard where he can safely burn off his energy and share his endless joy.
