Shelter FAQs

Richmond Animal League (RAL) is committed to saving lives by giving hope, help, and loving homes to animals in need. Our vision: All cats and dogs are in a loving home with access to the support they need to thrive. RAL has been committed to saving the lives of animals and finding loving homes for pets for over 45 years. Since 1979, we’ve worked with area shelters to provide temporary housing, medical treatment, vaccinations, spay/neuter, and loving care to tens of thousands of pets who were then adopted into new homes.
Richmond Animal League works with 60+ municipal shelters and rescue partners and the community to reduce euthanasia rates across Central Virginia. When municipal shelters become too full or have pets with medical conditions beyond their resources, RAL steps in to transfer, house, care for and adopt out those pets. These timely transfers of pets to RAL help our partners have the space and capacity to save more lives. There is more need than capacity, so we prioritize our work with shelter partners as the best way to save the most lives.
