Fixin’ to go Home for the Holidays pet adoption event

The Henrico County Police Animal Shelter will hold an adoption event on Saturday, Dec. 13 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 10421 Woodman Road.

Help pets find homes so that they can spend the holidays – and a lifetime – with their new families, thanks to the generous sponsorship from community partners! The William A. Harrison Jr. Foundation and Furbish Thrift are sponsoring the spay and neuter surgeries for the animals, and the Henrico Humane Society is sponsoring the adoption fees of any pets adopted during the event.

Sussex County and Petersburg City animal services are partnering with the shelter for this event and will bring adoptable pets from their shelters as well.

A quick reminder to potential adopters: Pets are not presents; they are long-term commitments to care for, and one that is so worth it! Please talk to shelter staff for any recommendations on finding a veterinarian, groomer or other animal care services.

Being a resident of Henrico is not required to adopt a pet from the shelter! People interested in pet adoption must be 18 or older and will need to provide a valid photo ID. Bringing a collar and leash or pet carrier are suggested but not required for adopters’ convenience of bringing a new pet home.

You can see all the pets available for adoption ahead of time through our PetFinder and AdoptAPet pages.
