Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Aryan MolossusOnce a Warrior, Today a Loyal Companion and a Family-Protector Should you ever decide that you need a big dog, with an imposing posture, which can look threatening and majestic at the same time, the Aryan Molossus is definitely one breed that you must take into consideration. The Armant The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special. The Atlas Terrier The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days. Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie It Is Impossible Not to Love Them Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after. Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet. |

Animal Shelter details for Henrico Humane Society
Please visit Henrico Humane Society and adopt a homeless pet You have reached the shelter page for Henrico Humane Society. Henrico Humane Society is located in richmond, Virginia. If you have information to add or update for Henrico Humane Society, please click here and let us know.
Since its founding in 1992, this non-profit rescue organization has helped over 4,000 homeless pets. Why so many? Death, divorce, relocation, abandonment, and landlord problems are some of the most common reasons. Many who are rescued suffer from the effects of abuse and neglect; too many are in poor or life threatening condition. Most are rehabilitated. Medical care and careful screening before placement of a rescued animal are very important to the animal's welfare. Each animal taken in by HHS is examined by a veterinarian, treated, if necessary, vaccinated, and tested. All HHS animals are spayed or neutered. All HHS animals are provided with a HHS tag; should the animal become lost or stolen it is easily identifiable as a HHS animal and the owner will be traceable. Pending placement, our animals are kept in foster homes or are boarded at various facilities in the Richmond area. Each animal is carefully evaluated before placement. This is one step in assuring that the animal and its new owner are a good match. Each prospective adoptive parent is screened. An application form must be completed and an interview is conducted by a HHS volunteer. A determination is made that the desire to adopt a Homeless pet is not just a passing whim - that the members of the household are aware of the nature of the Homeless pet and of the commitment required for animal ownership. In rental situations, the landlord may be contacted to ensure animals are allowed, as landlord disputes are such a common reason for turn-in. Henrico Humane Society is not just a rescue organization. Another important function of HHS is public education. The organization produces a newsletter and supplies educational materials to animal owners. Where appropriate, volunteers are available to counsel animal owners, or to help find a solution to enable the animal to remain in its original home. HHS members (and previously adopted homeless pets) regularly staff booths at pet fairs and pet stores to educate the public about the characteristics of the homeless pets, animal care, and obedience. We need people like you to support us financially and with your time as a volunteer to allow us to continue these efforts.
