On this RACC Team Tommie Tuesday we celebrate Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter and Colonial Heights Animal Control for using our Tommie Fund to save lives! Both municipalities had kittens that needed immediate surgical intervention and their budgets couldn’t cover—Tommie Fund paid their vet bill! This is the BEST way to help save animals lives across Virginia. Join the team by switching your VA license plate today—https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/license-plates/search/teamtommie.

🦋Sterling Silver🦋

This little potato girl is going to be a very easy going companion. 😎 If you are on the market for a cuddly, lounge around, super easy going dog, then look no further! Sterling is suuuuper housebroken. Just another one of her A+ qualities. She knows several basic commands as well! All she asks is to be your one and only fur baby for now. DM or email [email protected] to adopt. 😎🦋
