We do not have a physical shelter so our dogs and cats live in foster homes until they are adopted. The more fosters we have, the more animals we can rescue from shelters. click below for more info on becoming a foster parent:

FOSTER FUR CREDIT

Foster Fur Credit is a program where high school students can earn 1 hour of community service credit per day for fostering. Responsibilities include: feeding, exercising, bringing the animal to the adoption stand, and providing lots of TLC. A parent must complete the a foster application on behalf of their child to get started.

While we welcome new foster applications, we are not currently accepting new volunteer applications.

Please reach out to your local animal shelter to inquire about their volunteer opportunities. Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Henrico Humane Society.

There are several ways junior volunteers can help. Click here to learn about activities like making treats for the animals in our care, hosting a donation drive or raising money. Here are some ideas for crafts kids can make to entertain a dog or cat.
