I have had a wonderful experience with RACC. We adopted a puppy who they described beautifully and looked for a home that suited his needs and a special rooster on the same day. Both are doing great!

The Richmond Animal Care & Control facility is a great place to adopt pets from, volunteer at, and foster animals from. Anybody I have come in contact with has always been helpful and respectful of my “silly questions”. I adopted my baby boy April 2023, almost a year later and I can confidently say my life as well as his, is forever changed. I wish I could support shelters in more ways than I do, especially this one. If I had one “complaint” it would be that I wish they had some type of included pet health care for those adopted from their shelter (which they may, but I know I couldn’t get it when he needed it, and I know Richmond vets are generally booked up for months so it might not be their fault).

I took a kitten that I found in my back yard here I hopes that they could find it a home. They paired it with another kitty and sent me a picture of how well it was doing! The staff was extremely nice and helpful, and it was nice to have the update to know that our uninvited friend was doing so well!

We adopted Sole yesterday from RACC. She is so sweet. We adopted our previous baby Cash from them too 15 years ago which he died from Cancer.The process was smooth and quick.

These people really, really love animals. We got a tour through the whole place! We told them what we were looking for and they found us our sweet boy River!

I came here looking for a companion for my current dog. I looked and found a dog I thought would be good, but when the meetup came they weren’t vibing too great. So the staff had a suggestion, and brought out another dog (Jitterbug, who’s new name is Sadie!), who although usually doesn’t like male dogs- she did good with my boy! They cat tested her, to ensure she wasn’t reactive- as I have a few cats at home. Everyone involved was VERY helpful!!! The adoption process was not nearly as difficult as most places in RVA. Our new baby is doing great and I can’t thank everyone involved enough! I would highly recommend adopting from here!
