Shelter Adoption & Rescue Efforts

Animal rescue in Richmond, VA

Shelter Adoption & Rescue Efforts was formed by a few volunteers who wanted to see more animals rescued from local euthanizing pounds. We have a small network of foster homes where the pets get love, training and food. Of course, they are seen by a vet, receive shots and tests and are spayed/neutered.
