About Amy Lou

Amy Lou is approximately 3 years old and weighs about 25 pounds. Amy Lou appears housebroken, crate trained, good with dogs and cats, and is a very sweet and gentle dog. Amy Lou came to FURS along with her siblings Rufus and Nardo FURS holds monthly adoptions stands where those interested can meet our four-legged crew available for adoption. Our next adoption stand will be on May 2nd 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Dogma Grooming + Pet Needs in Carytown (3501 W Cary St, Richmond). We can make alternate arrangements for meeting the FURS dogs but we would require an approved application for adoption. There is no fee or obligation with submitting an adoption application and applications can be completed online at www.fursdogs.com. NOTE: By clicking the "Start an Inquiry" button on Petfinder is NOT submitting an application for adoption with FURS. Please visit www.fursdogs.com for submitting an application for adoption. A required step of our adoption process is to conduct a home visit. Since FURS is a very small, all-volunteer rescue, we can only support our adoption process to homes in the Richmond, VA and surrounding localities area

Adopting in Richmond, VA

Richmond's historic charm and revitalized riverfront make it a wonderful city for pet adoption. Virginia's capital has dedicated shelters and rescue groups with animals eager for loving homes in this city where history meets modern vibrancy.

From the James River trails and its famous rapids to the beautiful parks of the Fan District, Richmond offers adopted pets a life rich in outdoor adventure and neighborhood character.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

28°F to 48°F

Dec – Feb

Mild winters with occasional snow and ice that can make trails slippery. The James River trails remain walkable most days, but use caution after winter precipitation. Shorter daylight hours call for reflective gear on evening walks through the Fan District and riverside paths.

Spring

40°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Beautiful blooms throughout the city’s historic neighborhoods make spring walks a delight. The James River runs high from snowmelt, so keep pets away from the rapids and swift water. Tick prevention is important as Virginia’s mild climate supports early tick activity.

Summer

68°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F. Schedule walks for early morning along the James River where breezes offer some relief. Carry water on every outing and watch for signs of heat exhaustion, especially during Virginia’s notoriously humid August.
