Henrico Police Animal Shelter | Fixing to go Home for the Holidays
2024-12-14 10:00 - 16:30 | Henrico County Animal Shelter, 10421 Woodman Road, Henrico, VA, United States
December 14, 2024 at 10:00 am – 4:30 pm
Free

The Henrico County Police Division Animal Protection Unit will hold an adoption event on Saturday, December 14, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Police Animal Shelter (10421 Woodman Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060).
Our goal is to find homes for the animals currently in our care so that they can spend the holidays – and a lifetime – with their new families! 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 adoptions fees of any pets adopted during the event.
People interested in adopting a pet will need to bring a photo ID to the event. You are encouraged to bring a collar, and a leash or carrier with you for transportation home from the shelter that day. Those items will not be provided on-site.
You can see all the pets available for adoption ahead of time via PetFinder. Please note, while adopting a pet during the holidays can be a great way to give a homeless animal a forever home, it’s important to be prepared and consider the full commitment of owning a pet.
For more information, visit the Henrico Police Animal Shelter’s Facebook page or call the shelter at (804) 727-8807.

Hanukkah Begins
2024-12-25 17:00 - 23:30 | VA
In 2024, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2024 and lasts until sundown on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025.

Hanukkah, which is Hebrew for “dedication,” is the Festival of Lights.
It commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greek army, and the subsequent miracle of rededicating the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and restoring its menorah, or lamp.
