We photographed a number of adoptable cats and dogs from Hickory Hill Canine Rescue, Cat Adoption and Rescue Efforts and the Richmond SPCA for our feature on pet health in the October issue, but we couldn't fit everyone into the magazine. This online slideshow introduces you to all the animals we photographed, many of whom still need a home. Scroll down further to find a list of links to even more local animal-rescue groups working to find homes for cats and dogs in the Richmond area.
