Half-price adoptions for bigger dogs at Richmond SPCA

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- You can take home more dogs for less money during the Richmond SPCA's newest adoption event, with adoption fees cut in half for the shelter's bigger dogs.

This adoption event, which runs from April 14 to April 18, highlights larger dogs. Any dog weighing 50 pounds or more can be adopted at a 50% discount.

"Check out some of the large dogs in our care who have even bigger hearts," the organization said.

"So many of our municipal shelter partners are at capacity, we'll only be able to respond to their requests for transfer if we can find homes for the dogs who are in our care right now," a spokesperson for the Richmond SPCA told 8News.
