Halloween Adoption Specials at Richmond Animal League

Did you know that….

  • Black pets are consistently the last to be adopted from animal shelters?
  • There are no definitive studies showing that it is “dangerous” to adopt out black cats around Halloween?

So, we here at RAL are instead celebrating our spooky canines and felines this year! Adopt a black dog or black/orange cat during the week leading up to Halloween (Tuesday October 23 through Wednesday October 31) and receive:
