Last week, 62 cats and 17 dogs found loving, lasting homes including long term residents like Bombette and Rose! We are so excited for all of the precious pets who found their new best friends. Congratulations to our recent alumni and their wonderful adopters! Visit our latest blog post to see the rest of the sweet pets who were adopted last week. #adoptrva #compassionunleashed

The 26th Annual Fur Ball was the most successful one yet! We raised $824,000 thanks to all of our incredible donors and sponsors. Every dollar raised goes directly to our Cinderella Fund, providing veterinary medical treatment and rehabilitation to thousands of sick, injured and neonatal homeless animals cared for at our humane center. 

Sneak peek! Our incredible volunteers are here helping set up for this year's Fur Ball. We are always so grateful for all of the hard work our volunteers do for our organization and pets in need.

We celebrated 58 wonderful adoptions last week! We are so excited for pets like Bessy and Ametrine who found their loving, lasting homes. Congratulations to our newest alumni and their guardians! 💙 #adoptrva #compassionunleashed

Happy LVT week to all of our incredible licensed veterinary technicians! Today and every day we are cheering on the wonderful technicians at the Richmond SPCA who dedicate their time to help pets in need at our humane center, Smoky's and our Susan M. Markel Veterinary Hospital. Big shout out to our licensed staff — Katie, Mary, Crystal, Jessie, Nicole, Suzie and Amanda — and to our student technicians Austin, Leesy, Caitlin and Tanner. If you see an LVT this week, be sure to thank them!

FREE VACCINE CLINIC! 🚨 Due to an increase in canine parvovirus cases in Richmond and the surrounding counties, we are partnering with Richmond Animal Care and Control to hold a free vaccine clinic for dogs on Monday, October 14 from 3 to 6 p.m. Parvo and distemper vaccines (DAPPv) will generously be provided by Petco Love, and rabies vaccines will be courtesy of RACC. This will be a drive-up clinic in our volunteer parking lot off of Rhoadmiller Street. All dogs are welcome to attend. We’ll have 200 vaccines, which will be available first come, first served. All dogs must have a leash and collar and will remain inside the vehicle.

We had another great week of adoptions! Last week, 80 pets found loving, lasting homes including long-term pets like Symphony and Bitsy. Congratulations to our newest alumni and their guardians! If you've been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, now is the pawfect time! October is #SubaruLovesPets month, and adoption fees for all adult dogs are discounted by 25% for the whole month. But for the next three days, we're waiving dog adoption fees altogether! Visit us on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to take home an adult dog and you'll be helping us respond to urgent pleas from partner shelters. Make room to save a life! #adoptrva

Our volunteers recently took Humphrey to Richmond Ambulance Authority as part of our Paws for Paramedics program! The program is designed to help EMS providers relieve stress through regular interaction with pets who are awaiting adoption. Frequent exposure to traumatic events can lead to high levels of workplace stress for these providers, and RAA recognized the positive impact that pets from the neighboring animal welfare organization could have for their employees.

Our adoption bell rang as we said goodbye to 87 amazing furry friends! Today we are celebrating the adoptions of many wonderful pets including Jethro and Chips! We are also excited to share that we finished off our fiscal year by cheering on our adoption counselors who reached 3,984 adoptions and our admissions team who completed 4,001 transfers. We are so excited for our newest alumni and our wonderful staff who amazes us every day with their life-saving work. 💙💙💙
