Each week, we are seeing our adoption numbers go up! This week 62 pets – 36 cats and 26 dogs – found permanent, loving homes. We hope with summer on its way, our adoption numbers continue to increase! This week's goal is to find homes for 80 animals in our care.
Please share, visit and encourage friends to make the Richmond SPCA their first stop when looking for their next pet. Friends' recommendations of the Richmond SPCA are the most frequent reason first-time visitors cite for coming to our Robins-Starr Humane Center. Help save lives by adopting one of our animals 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.

This Saturday, June 23, the Tail Wag’N will be at the Vegetarian Festival from noon to 6 p.m. Located at Joseph Bryan Park, stop by and enjoy food, music, speakers, vendors and much more!

Adoption Special:
June is “Adopt A Cat Month” at the Richmond SPCA! Adoption fees for all cats aged 6-months and older are reduced by 50 percent. We have many cats available who would love to find homes, so be sure to take advantage of this special. As always, each adopted pet is already spayed or neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipped.

Vasha (aka Maggie) is the perfect dog for our family! Thanks to all the wonderful Richmond SPCA staff who worked hard to find the dog for us. She's already BFFs with our cat and the best jogging buddy ever. We'll be recommending this shelter to all our friends. Thank you!

Hi Madeline!
This is Martha, the communications intern here at the Richmond SPCA, and I'm so thrilled to have an update on Vasha! She was one of my favorites here at the Robins-Starr Humane Center. We even took her to Wet Nose Wednesday on Lite 98. She easily won over everyone she has met and we're so happy she's found the loving home she deserves!
