James River Humane Society
Our Mission
The James River Humane Society is dedicated to providing humane care and treatment for animals in need, seeking suitable homes for those without owners, and alleviating animal suffering. We are committed to giving every cat and dog in our care a second chance at a loving, permanent home.
Our History
Since our establishment in 1985, we have served the Jamestown area as a non-profit organization focused on the welfare of homeless animals. For over three decades, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to being a no-kill shelter, ensuring that our community has a safe haven for pets in need of protection.
How We Care
As a no-kill shelter, our facility is designed to provide a comfortable environment for animals while they wait for their forever families. We are proud that every animal in our care is fully vetted and spayed or neutered before their adoption is finalized, ensuring they are healthy and ready to join your household.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We believe that adoption is the start of a beautiful, lifelong partnership. To ensure the best fit for both you and your new pet, we require potential adopters to visit the shelter to meet their future companions in person. If you currently have dogs at home, we ask that you bring them along for a visit so we can help ensure everyone gets along harmoniously.
Connect With Us
Are you ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our available cats and dogs on our website or visit us at our shelter in Jamestown. You can also fill out an application online to begin your journey, or contact our managers to learn more about how you can support our mission to save lives.
