It's Shelter Pet Saturday and I got to visit Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center where I met some of their adorable bunnies looking for loving homes 🐰
Steppa: A majestic Black Flemish Giant rabbit
Lior: A sweet Lionhead rabbit
Bipsy: A lovable gray Lop-Eared short coat rabbit
Rabbits make fantastic companions! They can be litter trained, are very social, and love being around you. When they’re happy, they might even perform a ‘binky’—an adorable athletic leap with twists and kicks in mid-air!
💖 Adoptions are just $1 all year round at VBACAC.
Not ready to adopt but still want to help?

• Volunteer as a Shelter Buddy for a couple of hours
• Sign up to become a foster and give them a temporary home

Meet Sugarplum, our Pitbull Tobacco & More Pet of the Week at Norfolk Animal Care Center! 🎄🐾 This sweet 2-year-old was found as a stray in rough conditions, but she's thriving now and ready for a loving home. Super affectionate and known for making biscuits in her cozy shelter bed, Sugarplum is sure to steal your heart! ❤️
Through Friends of the Norfolk Animal Care Center *Best Buds* Adoption Program, you can adopt two pets for the price of one all year long! Not ready to adopt? Consider fostering—freeing up space in the shelter saves not just one, but two lives. Let’s make Sugarplum’s holiday wish come true!
Small Business Saturday Meets Small Pet Saturday! 🦔
Meet Penny, our Pitbull Tobacco & More Pet of the Week, a 2-year-old hedgehog looking for her forever home through Coastal Virginia Hedgehog Rescue!
Penny is nocturnal and loves running on her wheel. She’s a solitary gal, best suited for a home with older children. Fun fact: Penny is litterbox trained and enjoys a diet of high-quality cat kibble!
If you’re interested in adopting Penny, visit hedgehogwelfare.org for more details.
Not able to adopt but still want to help? Coastal Virginia Hedgehog Rescue is in need of experienced foster homes and transporters—your help could change a life! 💕
#ShelterPetSaturday Meet Miniwheats, our Pitbull Tobacco & More pet of the week. This 1-year-old sweetheart from Portsmouth Humane Society is great with other dogs and has a playful, energetic personality that will keep you smiling. Since she can be a little jumpy, she’d thrive in a home with older kids who can keep up with her enthusiasm.
Miniwheats is currently in foster at PetSuites Chesapeake, and you can meet her during business hours.
🐶 Thanksgiving Fosters Needed! 🦃
Portsmouth Humane Society is looking for fosters to give pets a warm, loving break over the holiday weekend. They’ll match you with the perfect pet for your home. Sign up today and help give these pets a holiday to remember!
#ShelterPetSaturday Meet SubZero, our Pitbull Tobacco & More Pet of the Week! 🐾 This gentle 5-year-old terrier mix has had a tough journey, coming to Norfolk Animal Care Center twice as a stray. The first time, he spent months in a kennel, pacing and panting, waiting for someone to fall in love with him. It was a stressful time for him, and we’re hoping to find him a home much faster this time around. 💙
SubZero is a sweetheart who takes treats gently and would make the perfect snuggle buddy on cold winter mornings. Thanks to a generous donor, his adoption fee is fully sponsored, making it even easier to bring him home! ✨
Adoption hours are 1:30 to 6:00 pm every day (except Wednesdays). Not ready to adopt? Consider fostering SubZero! NACC provides everything you need, and fostering gives him a break from the shelter while creating space for emergency cases. It’s a rewarding experience that makes a big difference for pets like SubZero.
adopt a senior pet month
November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month! I got to meet two cats at Norfolk Animal Care Center who are both part of Friends of the Norfolk Animal Care Center Golden Paws Senior Adoption Program.
Elsa and Simon are 92.9 The Wave and Pitbull Tobacco & More Pets of the Week. They are at the age where they still have a lot of love and energy to give but they are more mature and require less supervision than a kitten. PS: stay tuned for a cameo from my 8 year old cat adopted from Virginia Beach SPCA 😍
Norfolk Animal Care Center Golden Paws Adoption Program 💛
🐾 Senior pets over seven years of age and older are just $35 for any age adopter.
🐾 Senior adopters over the age of 65 and older can adopt a pet of any age for just $35.
🐾 Senior adopters may adopt a senior pet at no cost.
If you are interested in adopting a senior sweetheart, Adoption Hours are 1:30 to 6:00 pm every day (except closed on Wednesdays)
