Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Gentle soul and quiet strength. Willow is a sweet momma with a heart of gold full of devotion. True to her name, she has bent but never broken – showing incredible resilience and gentleness throughout her journey. Willow is an exceptional mamma to her 6 puppies, proving just how nurturing and loving she is. She thrives on human connection and will do best in a home where she is seldom alone. She is excellent with all humans, big, small, young, old, and gets along well with other dogs. Willow is completely housebroken and can be trusted freely in the home. She does not do well to be confined (crates or gates), but when given room, she is calm, respectful, and settles beautifully. Loyal, affectionate and steady, Willow is the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to be near her people. PERSONALITY: Calm, affectionate, needs to be near her people. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Cuddling. Snuggling. Hugs. Willow initiates long hugs with her people and will gently lean in further to let you know she wants a bit more. MEDICAL ISSUES: Hips seem to tighten up, so no slippery floors anywhere. One single paw on hardwood floor will slip out from under her even just moving from rug to rug. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Willow will need to be spayed before she goes to her new home. She is looking for a home where there is someone home all day long with her. Even trips to the grocery store where she’s left home alone make her sad. She doesn’t like situations where she thinks she can be left behind. Car rides are her bread and butter, and she will gladly go anywhere with you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Car Jacker made his way into RACC at the beginning of the New Year after one of our officers received a call that a dog had jumped into a citizen's vehicle and was refusing to get out. He has since been known to as Car Jacker! He is a 92lbs, Mastiff mix, and has a great temperament. Car Jacker is around 6 years old and housebroken! He will do best as the only pet in the home for now. While Car Jacker has a beautifully calm temperament, he has displayed some separation anxiety while in a foster home. He is a sweet large boy who will need a patient person who is understanding of his anxiety. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 92 Age: 6yrs 1mths 1wks

Story
3-year-old neutered male Mastiff mix, arrived at the shelter on 1/19/26 as a stray.Large sizeMedium energyCrush loves people and is very gentle. He passes by other dogs in kennels without paying any attention to them, but outside on the leash he can be pretty rigid and aroused when he sees another dog. However, we were thrilled to see Crush all wiggly and playful when he got close to Duke on a recent walk, so we’re starting to think that Crush just needs to learn some social skills with other dogs so that he can feel comfortable with them from the get go. It’s definitely worth the effort to work with him because he’s a fabulous dog.The Henrico Police Animal Shelter is accessible by appointment only. Animals available for adoption can be viewed online at petfinder.com or adoptapet.com. Please contact the Animal Shelter at (804) 727-8807, Monday-Saturday, 10:00 am - 4:30 pm to schedule an appointment for adoption. Thank you.February 8, 2026, 9:08 am
