Richmond Animal Care and Control's Adoption Policy
At RACC, our focus is on same-day adoptions. Anyone interested in adopting an animal, along with all household members, must visit the shelter in person to meet and interact with the animal(s). During the visit, RACC staff will ask a series of questions to determine if the animal(s) would be a good fit. Once an appropriate match is made, the prospective adopter will need to complete an adoption application, which will be reviewed and approved or denied immediately. For dog adoptions, any resident dogs must also attend the meet-and-greet. Kittens 4 months or younger must be adopted in pairs or have another cat at home to ensure proper socialization and prevent Single Kitten Syndrome. Adoption fees cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, flea/tick prevention, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, heartworm testing (for dogs 6 months and older), and FeLV/FIV testing (for cats). Adoption fees: - $100 adoption fee for dogs, puppies 5 months or older, cats, and kittens - $150 adoption fee for puppies 4 months or younger - Cats and kittens may be adopted two for the price of one - Adoption fees may be waived for medical or space reasons at management discretion
