Heritage Humane Society will be closed on Thanksgiving (November 24). Heritage Humane Society is open from 12 PM – 4:30 PM daily. If you have questions prior to your visit, please email or call us. 757-221-0150 ext.0 or [email protected] 

Please note all adoptions are facilitated on a first come, first served basis.

Our goal is to set you and your new pet up for success! Adopting a pet can be a great experience for you and your family. A new pet can instantly warm your heart as they join your family. A new pet can also be a challenge if you have not considered all the factors before you adopt.

• Have I talked about adopting a new pet with everyone in my household?
• Do I have the financial resources to care for a pet?
• Are there any restrictions on the kind or number of pets I can have where I live? If you rent, please bring a copy of the rental’s pet policy, lease, or letter from your landlord.
• Keep in mind that in order to adopt from the Heritage Humane Society, you must be at least 18 years old and show a current photo ID.
