My story

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

At approximately 1.5 years of age, Tommy still has puppy energy, loves playing with toys, is good on a leash, gets along well with other dogs, and enjoys being around humans, including children. His favorite past time is rolling over for belly rubs.

This beautiful all-white pit bull mix is deaf, but is learning hand signal commands. He does sit when presented with a treat, and will require some extra patience and a willingness on the part of his new owner to learn doggy sign language for communication. Because he cannot hear commands, a 4-6 foot fence would be required to ensure his safety when outside, and a home where he is the only dog would be preferable.

All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Additionally, adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters are carefully screened to ensure we find the right forever home for the dogs and cats we rescue. Since animals live in foster homes, we get to know their personality and temperament. The adoption process allows us to learn about you, so that we can help find the perfect match for your home.

ADOPTION PROCESS

After finding a cat or dog that you are interested in, you'll need to complete an adoption application either online (https://henricohumane.org) or at an adoption stand. An adoption coordinator will review your application to ensure your situation matches the needs of the animal you're interested in. If completing an application online, please note, every question must be answered on the application for it to be reviewed by an adoption coordinator. As part of the review process, we'll request references. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, it may take up to 48 hours for an adoption coordinator to contact you.

ADOPTION FEES

$100 for a cat or kitten
$150 for an adult dog
$200 for a puppy (under 1 year of age)

The adoption fee covers the cost of shots, spay/neuter, microchipping and worm/flea treatments.

Please note that not all animals come to stand so if you are intersted in a specific animal, please email dogs@henricohumane.org or cats@henricohumane.org on the Friday prior to stand. Thank you!

More about this rescue

Henrico Humane Society is an all-volunteer, foster-based,
non-profit organization that rescues dogs and cats from
across Central Virginia and places them in loving, forever
homes.

HHS has saved hundreds of animals each year since
1991. Many of the dogs and cats we rescue come from
shelters in rural areas where they have fewer adoption
opportunities. The majority of the animals in our care live
with foster parents until they find a permanent home.

We don't have a shelter and most of our animals live in foster homes until they're adopted, which allows us to get to know their personality and temperament. Applicants are carefully screened to ensure we find the right forever home for the dogs and cats we rescue. Our adoption process allows us to learn about potential adopters so we can help find the perfect matcher their home.
