The county said that the shelter currently has cats, dogs and even a guinea pig that's looking for a home. Anyone interested in adopting an animal must be 18 years or older, and is required to bring a photo ID.
Several community partners -- including the William D. Harrison Jr. Foundation, Furbish Thrift and Henrico Humane Society -- have sponsored spay and neuter surgeries for the available cats and dogs. Additionally, the adoption fee for a lot of the pets is $10.
