Kind and experienced staff! Very patient with first-time cat adopters and offers an abundance of resources. Many dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and more. Thank you Christine for your help and for the donated supplies to start.

We adopted our sweet baby Kato yesterday from this shelter. Every staff member was very friendly, caring, and knew a lot of information about the animals. They also provide complimentary vet check and free dog gear - toys, beds, food, etc. a wonderful experience overall and our sweet 4 legged baby is the perfect addition to our family! PS we are first time pet owners!

My boyfriend and I were looking for shelters in Fairfax County, and we came across this one. We looked at their website around August of 2022 to see what dogs they have available and a Siberian husky just over 1 y/o was there. We were very excited and went in person to meet him ASAP. All of the staff members at this shelter were very kind and helpful and answered any questions we had about this dog. We ended up bringing Apollo home, and we are happy that he is now in his forever home! We couldn’t be happier to have adopted from this shelter and we will likely be back in the future when we are seeking another furry friend 🐶 also, I can tell the dogs and other animals are treated very well and with lots of love here.

I loved adopting from this shelter! I adopted my cat DD from her last May, and it was a smooth, easy experience. It was obvious how all of the employees I came in contact with care about their jobs and the animals. Everyone I spoke to were very informative and appreciative that I was adopting an “office cat”. They told me that cats that they have to place in an office to socialize are usually hard to get adopted, but I fell in love with my girl even more after meeting her in person. They were all fantastic people and the woman who helped me meet DD was so gentle and even told me some little details that she knew about DD. I loved visiting this shelter and rescuing my beautiful girl! Thank you!

It's always a pleasure to visit this shelter. The staff is super friendly, their descriptions of animals are unique and as specific as possible. They encourage the adopters to ask questions if in need. So far, we got a crested gecko (Tulip) and a Canaan dog (Bud in 2019) from this wonderful place.

We adopted Ruby this past week from the shelter! All of the staff were very helpful and kind as this was our first time adopting a critter!
