Richmond Animal Care & Control

Hours: Richmond Animal Care & Control (RACC) is an open admission shelter that serves the city of Richmond, providing care for over 3,000 stray, injured, abused, and relinquished pets every year. The shelter is committed to saving every life and their staff investigates animal cruelty, enforces humane laws, and issues pet licenses/permits. RACC's city budget covers basic operational needs, while the RACC Foundation, a non-profit organization, supports the costs of critical emergency care and increased marketing/outreach efforts through fundraising and volunteer coordination. Reviewers have praised RACC as a great place to adopt pets, volunteer, and foster animals. The staff and volunteers are described as helpful, respectful, and amazing. Adopters have been pleased with the level of training and care provided to the animals, and one reviewer adopted a 6-month-old pitbull mix that was well-behaved and responsive. While one reviewer wished for included pet healthcare, they acknowledged that the issue might be due to the general shortage of veterinary services in the area. Overall, RACC is highly regarded for its commitment to animal welfare, dedicated staff, and clean, friendly environment. Reviewers encourage others to consider adopting or donating to support the shelter's important work.
