RICHMOND ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL

We need your help. Last night (2/10/19) at 7:30pm a male brindle pit bull with a camo collar was tied to a pole in Abner Clay Park off the 200th Block of W Clay Street covered in accelerant and intentionally set on fire. Witnesses saw a adult male suspect wearing multiple layers of pants run from the scene towards Belvidere Street. If you have information about this crime call Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or submit your tip through the 3PTips. ANY information, anything you saw, anyone you suspect, if you have ever seen this dog, please call or message it in - no information is insignificant. We want to find the person responsible for this heinous crime. We named the dog Tommie and he is currently being treated for burns to over 40% of his body at Virginia Veterinary Centers. We are all hoping that we might be able to save him. Please consider making a donation to our RACC Foundation towards the cost of his vet care - it will be a long and expensive road to recovery for this sweet dog. Link in bio. I have to say that we don't get rattled by much at RACC and have witnessed ugly cases but this one makes us want to just sit on the floor and cry. Thank you to our partners at City of Richmond, VA Fire Department and Richmond Police Department for your incredible help and quick response to this call. Please help us save Tommie and find the person responsible for this evil, senseless act of violence. #weareyourcityshelter

DCF: Warning signs missed, policies not followed in Jordan Belliveau case

Ahhhhh....  yes.  Again worthless Destroying Children and Families does NOT follow any of its policies nor the law.  Nothing ever changes or gets any better, no one is held accountable.  Yet they will be sticking their hands out any day for more money and more money so they can destroy more children and families.  The worst part is they will waste more and more money to fail everyone exactly as they have for decades.

Jeremy McKellon


Jeremy McKellon, known as Remy to those who knew him in his military service and as a barber in the Richmond, Virginia area, attended Virginia Commonwealth University studying in the School of Business in pursuit of his MBA.  Sadly, Jeremy was shot and critically injured on 01/02/2019 as he was returning home from an event. According to the paramedics, his life was saved by the 911 call of strangers who came to his aid after some time had passed.

Jeremy's entire life changed in this unfortunate instant. Jeremy is a very attentive son and uncle who truly enjoyed spending time with his family. Due to an act of violence, currently Jeremy cannot move anything below his neck.

Thank you for your help in providing whatever assistance you can to meet the insurmountable cost of his extensive care.
