Rescue FAQs

Henrico Humane Society is volunteer-run, foster-based, non-profit organization that rescues dogs and cats from across Central Virginia and places them in loving, forever
homes. We have saved saved hundreds of animals since we were founded in 1991.

We don't have a shelter so 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 match for their home.
