Ulsan and Futurebass Find Matches
Two notable long-term and high-profile residents marked the end of their shelter stays. Ulsan, a 10-year-old dog, arrived at the Richmond SPCA in 2016 at just four months old alongside 14 littermates after a rescue from a South Korea meat farm. Shelter staff noted that Ulsan required a deliberate, slow-paced transition due to initial nervousness around unfamiliar people, leading to multiple stints in and out of the facility before his recent match.
Futurebass, a four-year-old cat who entered the shelter in September, spent two months greeting visitors at the door and soliciting affection before securing an adoption.
The shelter’s adoption momentum continues this week with the upcoming Thankful for a Home Adoption Special, scheduled from November 11 through November 25 during normal open hours, as announced by Vanessa Gleiser.
