Who We Are
We are a non-profit, all volunteer group whose mission is to improve the animal welfare in King William and surrounding counties and to ensure the humane care and treatment of animals. Since 1996, IRHS has been able to save hundreds of animals from being euthanized.Volunteer with us!
IRHS is always in need of volunteers. There are several ways to volunteer with us. We are always desperately in need of foster homes for homeless pets to await being adopted. We also need help at our adoption stands. We participate in several events throughout the area all year long. Volunteers are always needed for those events. If you are interested in fostering or helping at adoption stands, please contact Dana at 804-769-4226 or email ingramdo@aol.com. If you would like to help with a special event contact Anne at 804-769-8340 or anne.farmer@hamiltonbeach.com.We are also in need of people with experience in website design to create and keep up an IRHS website. Anyone with grant writing experience and/or fundraising experience would also be a great assistance to our programs!
You can also join us at one of monthly meetings to learn more about IRHS. Typically our meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month at the Upper King William Library. Check the Country Courier for exact dates on our meetings.
