Story
Meet Wilma – the lovable goofball with a heart as big as her blanket collection! 💕 Wilma is the most affectionate, playful girl who’s made incredible progress on her journey. She can be a little sensitive and unsure in new situations, but she’s come so far and just needs someone patient and consistent to help her to continue to shine. Once she warms up, you’ll get nothing but pure, snuggly love — and maybe a face full of kisses! This girl is peak pitty: she adores blankets, comfy spots, and a good snuggle session. She’s also got a silly, adventurous side — she prances like a deer, zooms like lightning, and loves hikes, long walks, and fetch (even if her catching skills are… a work in progress). Wilma is smart, curious, and loves a challenge with puzzle toys and slow feeders. Ice cubes and frozen treats are her jam — peanut butter, pumpkin, banana… she’s a connoisseur! Wilma’s working hard on her leash manners and has learned some impressive skills — like “sniff,” “safe,” “free,” and “check in” — to help her focus when things get exciting. She’d love another easy-going doggie friend to run and play with, but she’s just as happy curled up inside with her people. She’s a chewer - sturdy toys are a must! Baths are tolerated like a pro, as long as rain stays out of the deal — this diva believes water is only for drinking, thank you very much! Wilma’s loyal, hilarious, and endlessly loving — the kind of dog who’ll brighten every day just by being herself. She even has her own theme song (“Our Little Pitty Willie” to the Brady Bunch tune) and wags along when she hears it. Whoever adopts Wilma will be one very lucky human — she’s the sweetest mix of silly, snuggly, and strong. She’s come so far already and is ready to keep blooming with a forever family to cheer her on. 🌈🐾 Adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If you wear pajamas more than real clothes, and think “socializing” means sharing snacks with your dog, Hammy chooses YOU. Rural life suits Hammy just fine. He thrives in environments where he doesn’t have to worry about strangers coming and going. The hustle and bustle of busy neighborhoods isn’t his style — Hammy feels safest when he knows his space and the people in it. Hammy is confident, stubborn, affectionate, and blissfully low-maintenance. He’s happiest lounging on the couch, getting belly rubs, and sucking on his blankie. He’s comfortable in a household that has its daily rhythm — just not one filled with new faces. Strangers make him uneasy, but with his people, he’s all heart and devotion. Your reward? A loyal couch companion who studies your face with gratitude, doubles as a weighted blanket, and loves you like no one else ever will. 💙 Adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.

Meet Gaia! This sweet girl is around 9 years old, and she is looking for a home to call her own! She sure does not act her age and still loves to run around, play and can't forget cuddles. She is super sweet and loves everyone she meets. She would prefer a home without any pets; she does well with them in passing she just does not want to share her space. Gaia loves to please her people and just wants love. If interested in Gaia, you can call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext.5

Story
Hi, This is Kaiser . He is a 2 year old Pitbull terrier. He is rambunctious and full of energy , a very clingy boy. Kai has separation anxiety. He’s s the type that wants to be up under you 24/7 giving you cuddles and love. He needs to be with a person who will take their time with him due to his anxiety of being away from you. We have two cats and he does wonderful with them. He also loves play dates with other doggies. Behavior around young children is unknown. Kai is a talker so be prepared to hear him talk back. He's a strong boy and will pull you. Kai is not fond of his crate and associates it as a bad place. We are working on this but he will need some help. He scares easily , certain noises like thunder scares him to death. He does have bit of food/toy aggression that we have been working on, but he will need extra help. Me and my husband both work full time with a baby on the way, it’s tough and he deserves more. Kai needs someone who can give him more time and love.

Story
This dog, we believe, belonged to a neighbor of ours who just disappeared one day and never came back. The dog showed up at our doorstep and my wife felt the need to try to take care of him as he was emaciated. We have tried but are moving and can’t take him with us. He does not bite, bark but licks though. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and is pretty old so lays around a lot.
