My story

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

If you're looking for a dog with lots of puppy energy and views life with joy and excitement, then Malachi is a great choice for you!

Malachi is currently learning doggie social skills and likes to play with other dogs, but sometimes becomes very vocal when he‘s excited or nervous. He craves love and cuddles and being with people, but can be overwhelming to young children when he wants to play, so a family with older children may suit him best.

He does really well in a crate and is mostly housetrained except a few accidents now and then when he doesn‘t get outside in time. Continued positive reinforcement training and exercise (walks, hikes, adventures) to work off his puppy energy will help him grow to be the best family dog around.

If you're ready to share your love and time with Malachi and to experience the same in return, submit an application to foster or adopt at www.henricohumane.org.

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.

Adoption stands are held on Saturdays at Petco Short Pump (Next to Trader Joe's) minus major holiday weekends. Adoption stands are from 11-2 but please see our stand schedule for up to date information. (https://henricohumane.org/events/).

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.
