Adoption Center News: Week of Jan. 23-29, 2012

We’re late in posting our weekly adoption update, but we have some great adoptions to tell you about from last week. The great news is that 32 dogs and 20 cats are in new loving homes. That’s a total of 52 lives saved, and several of the pets recently adopted had waited many, many months for their matches to come along.

We need your help in the current week to achieve our goal of 74 adoptions. Help save lives by visiting our Robins-Starr Humane Center to adopt or by being an ambassador for adoption and spreading the word to friends and family about the wonderful pets here in need of permanent homes. Adopting from the Richmond SPCA is a great value. Along with a lifetime of love and companionship, each adoption includes the pet’s spay or neuter surgery, all age appropriate vaccinations and much more.

Bring your favorite canine companion to our Tenth Annual Dog Jog & 5K Run on Saturday, March 24. The event features a sanctioned 5K Race (for people only) at 9:30 a.m. followed by a leisurely 1-mile dog jog/walk at 11 a.m. A vendor fair takes place in the parking lots from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes activities for dogs, kids' crafts, music, food, giveaways from local businesses and so much more. For complete event details, visit our race page online, where you can register, learn how you can raise pledges for our homeless animals, form a team and more.

Lenora had a "going home party" with many of her friends at our center on the day she was adopted. We'll share more photos and an alumni update in an upcoming blog.

Go Matt! He loved Lenora and I think, with the clothing, helped her find her forever home.

Matt is fabulos!

Lenora is beautiful in her party dress, I am so happy she and Kotter found a forever home. As a volunteer, I see first hand the love and attention that is given to each and every animal at the Richmond SPCA.
