Chico, Male, 15 pounds, Richmond VA *Courtesy Listing*
 
Meet Chico!  Chico is a 6 year old Westie mix looking for a new home.  Chico's owner is moving into assisted living and can’t take him. This little cutie is 15 lbs, neutered, house-trained, up to date on vaccines, and gets along with other dogs. Cats are unknown but he’s been around chickens and didn’t chase them so his current foster thinks he would be ok with cats. He’s really easy to be with and will let you know when he needs to go out.

​If. you are interested in meeting Chico, please click here  to complete an application.

​Spencer, Young Male, 52 pounds, Richmond VA

Hello there. My name is Spencer and they say I am around 18-24 months old. My foster mom rescued me from a really scary shelter and she says I am: Happy, Friendly, Silly, Goofy, Playful, Bouncy, Funny (she can go on and on!).  She says I make her laugh at least twice a day and that I am full of love and affection and ready to give it to give to some lucky family! I even like to hug! (but foster mom says I shouldn’t)

I am working extra hard on my house manners and doing pretty well if I do say so myself! I do like other social dogs, but I’ve never met a kitty.

I love my yard toys, my favorites are my crackle ball, my wiggle ball and my rubber frisbee! I can almost catch it! I do enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood but LOVE zooming around the yard, with or without toy in mouth,  showing off my athletics!

Lulu, Adult Female, 40 pounds, Richmond VA - ​Courtesy Listing

Hello there. My name is Lulu and they call me a Jack Russell/Terrier/Schnauzer mix.  I am full grown and 7 years young. Sadly, I was orphaned when my person and my canine-friend both crossed over rainbow bridge in early August. I really love being a part of a small family and hope that I can feel that way again very soon. For the last 3 years I lived happily with an older person and an older dog. I love attention, belly & ear scratches and am very sweet-natured.

Naturally I am a bit unsure of things right now, as so much has changed for me. I will bark at unfamiliar people in an alarming/protective/alerting manner. I have been trained on an invisible fence/collar. I get a bit anxious when I am left alone and so I will go right in my crate when my foster mom needs to leave me by myself. 
​
The best home for me would be one that is similar to what I have experienced in my life – an older person or people, other low-key pets, and the ability to be outdoors for a bit during the day. If you have room in your home and your heart for me, click here to see if we could be a match.

Miss Daisy, Adult Female, Courtesy Listing

Hello there. My name is Miss Daisy. Clearly I am not a canine but my friends at MomsVA are hoping to help find me a home. I lost my person to cancer in December 2019 and need help finding a new, loving home. I am sweet and just a bit sassy! I am 11 years young, spayed, current on all shots, and in good health. I LOVE to be brushed but am also content to lounge about and be on my own. I am a spoiled indoor kitty and am used to being the only cat – but I would try to see if I can live with other cats if an experienced cat owner could help me learn how to do that.  I miss my person and hope that I can find a new person and/or family who can make room for me. I’m currently living in Fairfax, but I can get a ride to the surrounding areas of Richmond, Fredericksburg, DC & Virginia Beach to find my new home. If you think we could be a match, please click here.
