Richmond Animal Shelter lives and breathes by its policy to keep animals alive if they have a chance of being fit and healthy
Sixty-eight cats, 77 rabbits, 25 small creatures, four farmyard dwellers and 122 dogs, 106 of which currently reside in foster homes across Richmond.

As the News and members of the public petted their way around the Richmond Animal Protection Society’s shelter (RAPS), it’s clear the animals come in many shapes and sizes; some young, some old, some who’ll eventually find a new home; many who won’t.

They all have one vital component in common, however — they’re alive and kicking and in good health, thanks to RAPS’ strict no-kill policy.
