Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Who is this person? Who would know when they ignore you?

Leaving animals and loving humans to fend for themselves is abhorrent. But thats been my experience with Richmond location.

I have called numerous times and left messages. Nobody ever calls me back. Ever. Right now i have 4 kittens that need homes desperately. I cannot keep because I will get evicted if caught. I found the mom living near a dumpster, then discovered the babies. They didnt even have eyes open yet. To be The Humane Society, you guys dont seem like you give a hoot about animals in need.
