Help save lives by becoming a foster parent!

Henrico Humane Society rescues dogs and cats from across Central Virginia.   These animals live with a foster parent until they can be placed in permanent, loving homes.  The more fosters we have, the more lives we can save!

We’re looking for volunteers who are willing to make a commitment of at least 3 months to provide love and care to a dog or cat until we can place them in their forever home.   There are also several shorter-term opportunities to help rescue an animal.   Click here for more information on our Foster Programs.
