CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WWBT) - One police officer is hoping the remaining dogs in Chesterfieldâs animal shelter will spend the holidays in a new home.
Chesterfield County Police Chief, Col. Jeffrey S. Katz, is offering to personally pay the adoption fees for anyone who adopts a pet from the shelter before Christmas Eve.
âA few years ago, I had the pleasure of impersonating one of my childhood heroes at a pet adoption event held at our Chesterfield County Animal Services,â Katz said in a Facebook post. âSuch a grand event was not necessary this year, as we are down to only THREE adoptable pets in our shelter.â
