Although we will miss her, we are very happy to announce that this week one of our special needs senior pets, an 8-year-old maltese named Penelope, was happily placed in her new home after patiently waiting a long time to meet her soul mate! Overall, 57 pets – 33 dogs and 24 cats – each found loving homes this week! Our goal this week is to help 60 homeless pets get adopted. 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 microchipping. Take our "Meet Your Match" survey here, then go view a sampling of available cats and dogs on our website or come to visit our Robins-Starr Humane Center!
