My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Akira is a sweet and smart girl, who is friendly and outgoing with everyone she meets! Akira has done well with dogs and children in her last home. She is very smart and energetic, making her the perfect outdoor activity companion! Akira was used to living outside and not having to use a leash, so she's looking for someone patient enough to work with her on leash training, as well as getting used to the luxeries of living inside. If you're interested in meeting this sweet girl, come to the shelter today!

Additional adoption info

Adoption applicants must complete a screening form as the first step towards adopting a pet. Your application will be verified by staff who will explain the next step in your adoption process. All adoption criteria must be met before the adoption is approved. Once approved, you are under no obligation to complete the adoption if you change your mind.

Pets are placed in the best possible home if there is more than one application pending. We cannot place a hold, or accept a deposit, on a pet. Adopters may legally only adopt 2 pets within a 30 day period.

We can, and do, adopt to out-of-area homes given the applicant has physically interacted with the pet. We will not ship a pet.

How to Find a Good Match:
We have trained staff who can give you information on positive training, breed characteristics, temperament, activity level, and behavior. Please ask for assistance at the front desk, we’re more than happy to help you find a good match! If you are interested in a specific pet, note their name or intake number and inquire at (540)434-5270.

Pet Cadet Adoption Program:
Active or retired military personnel receive a year-round, 50% discount on adoption fees. This is our way of saying thank you for your service. Animals play an important role in our lives and we hope that local veterans will find a loving companion animal for their family through us. (Must show military ID at the time of adoption)

Adoption fees include any needed medical care, age-appropriate vaccines, microchipping, and spay or neuter surgery for the pet.

More about this shelter

As an open admission animal shelter, we accept any pet who comes through our doors regardless of breed, temperament, color, size, health, age, adoptability, or their previous owner’s or finder’s ability to pay for the duration of their stay with us. We do not require an appointment, surrender fee, nor a pre-surrender behavioral assessment. While not every pet we receive is healthy or temperamentally sound, we work with foster homes, limited admission “no kill” rescues, breed-specific rescues, and knowledgeable volunteers and adopters to ensure that as many pets as possible find a home. See our website rhspca.org for more information about us, and to see our list of available pets that is updated in real-time.
