How was this acheived (an end to the killing of healthy, homeless animals in Richmond and Hanover)?
We share this success with the City of Richmond and Hanover County, which have embraced our vision for a no-kill community, as well as those other humane organizations that transfer animals from Richmond Animal Care and Control and Hanover Animal Control. Every member of the community who adopts a pet from a shelter rather than purchasing one from a breeder or a pet store and every pet owner who has his pet spayed or neutered and every feral cat caregiver is also responsible for this victory. An educated community will continue to be a vital partner in guaranteeing life to Richmond’s orphaned dogs and cats.
