Pop-up Pet Adoption event

The Henrico Police Animal Shelter is hosting an outdoor pop-up pet adoption event (rain or shine). Cats, dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits are looking for loving homes!
Community members are invited to meet pets available for adoption and help future animals in need of care. Thanks to the sponsorships from Henrico Humane Society, Furbish Thrift and the William A. Harrison Jr. Foundation, any dogs who are already spayed or neutered are ready to go home with their adopters the same day with just a $10 adoption fee.
Pets who have not already been spayed or neutered will have additional fees for their procedures. The spay or neuter will be scheduled upon adoption and will be ready to go home with their families shortly after!
“Every adoption is a double win for us; a pet goes home with their new family, and we gain space to support incoming lost and stray animals” said shelter manager Pamela Bridgmon. “Over 100 shelter dogs have found homes as a result of these events in the past 11 months, thanks to the community and our wonderful volunteers.”
Adopters must be 18 or older, but are not required to be Henrico County residents. Adopters will need to have a valid photo ID and pay an adoption fee, which varies upon the spay/neuter status of the pet.
All pets available for adoption can be viewed online on our PetFinder and AdoptaPet pages.
