dog rescue

Guest Blogger—Susan Kelly, Richmond Animal League

Richmond Animal League (RAL) is seeking homes for over 50 puppies housed at their Chesterfield area shelter and in foster homes.  The puppies represent a wide variety of mixed breeds including Hound, Collie, Doberman, Plott Hound, Labrador Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, and Terrier.  The puppies range in age from 6 weeks to 14 weeks.

Over the past two months, RAL has received dozens of calls from rescue groups and concerned citizens to take in litters of puppies found abandoned and in need of shelter.  RAL was able to respond quickly and provide shelter, food, medical care and lots of TLC to these puppies.

All puppies are spayed and neutered and given age appropriate vaccinations prior to their adoption.  If you are interested in adopting a puppy, please visit RAL during their adoption hours: Tuesday – Friday 4:30pm – 8:00pm & Saturday – Sunday 12:00pm – 4:00pm.  Our shelter is located at 11401 International Drive off Branchway Road by Chesterfield Town Center.  For more information on the puppies, please visit our website www.ral.org or call 804.379.0046.  The adoption fee for puppies is $150.

The Richmond Animal League is the area’s oldest non-profit no-kill organization committed to reducing the homeless pet population in the Richmond area.  The Richmond Animal League has provides shelter and love to hundreds of companion animals each year until they are adopted to permanent, loving homes.
