We have plenty of birds in the neighborhood and was happy to grab this photos. Now if only I could get a picture of the noisy owls in the Magnolia tree on the next block.
My family and I live in Westover Hills and have a fountain on the back patio. It has served as an oasis for birds over the years. This year for the first time in the 10+ years of having the fountain a local Cooper’s Hawk (if I’ve misidentified please let me know ) has paid a couple visits to partake in the water. You’ll notice in some of the photos the fountain is a little low. That has been remedied.

Richmond Animal Care and Control Looking for Information on Dog Found in Dumpster
The dog was found in a dumpster at the Residences at Westover Hills (5852 Westower Drive). If you have an information please call 647-5573 or email [email protected]
We just don’t know what to say about this one. Swear words want to come out first…followed by tears…then back to bigger swear words. This sweet dog was found in this dumpster at the Residences at Westover Hills. No joke. Citizens saw him and called our team. Officer Jones removed him from the dumpster and took him straight to Virginia Veterinary Centers.
We named him Blue Skies. He’s 10 months old and was in terrible shape; starved, covered in feces, with open wounds on his body-our RACC Medical Pics closed group shows more (if you can handle graphic). We need your help finding the person responsible for his suffering. Please call 647-5573 or email [email protected] with information. Our hearts are breaking over the sweet spirit of this dog that deserves a chance at a better life. Please share-plus he will need a home-email if you can help with that too. #weareyourcityshelter#throwninthetrash#HelpUsHelpHim#ijustcantanymore
