Meet Lucky and Baby, a dynamic duo! Thanks to a generous donor, we're shining a light on these two pups and supporting FFCAS, Fairfax County Animal Services’ fundraising partner.

Lucky and Baby are a sweet, bonded pair of pups who do everything together—and they'll need to be adopted together. They can't imagine life without each other and are hoping for a home where they can stay side-by-side forever. A little shy at first, they rely on each other for comfort and confidence. Once they feel safe, their gentle personalities shine through. We're still learning the little quirks that make each of them unique, but one thing is clear: they have so much love to give. If you're looking to open your home to a devoted pair who will reward your kindness with loyalty and sweetness, Lucky and Baby may be your perfect match. Thanks to our generous donors, Lucky will go home with a $500 credit at Pender Veterinary Clinic.

Not ready to adopt? Share this post to help Lucky and Baby find a home together!

We were thrilled to cover Cotton’s neuter surgery. Now, let's get Cotton Adopted.

Cotton is a 1-year-old rabbit with a personality even bigger than his ears! 🐰
He’s brimming with curiosity and happily includes himself in all your activities. He has the softest coat imaginable and welcomes pets from all humans. He loves exploring tunnels, solving treat puzzles, and will do just about anything for a piece of apple.

Adopt Cotton today at our Lorton Campus! Learn more at fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt.

Thank you we’re shining a spotlight on Boogie (FKA as Brewser)! Tax-deductible donations like this help individual pets gain visibility, encourage adoption, and support the well-being of all animals at Fairfax County Animal Services. Even better, Boogie will go home with a $500 credit at Pender Veterinary Clinic. The veterinary credit is provided by the Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter (FFCAS)!

Boogie is an 8-year-old gentleman with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. Boogie is the type who chooses your lap, your smile, and your affection over any toy in the world. Boogie would fit into a home where he can be the only dog and become a part of the daily routine, whether that's relaxing on the couch, going for walks, or simply keeping you company.

Thank you, Vocare Wealth Advisors, for shining a light on this adorable pup, Stitch, and supporting FFCAS, Fairfax County Animal Services’ fundraising partner. Tax-deductible donations like this help specific pets gain visibility, encourage adoption, and support the wellness of all animals at Fairfax County Animal Services.

Stitch is 56 lbs. of love and young-pup energy! He craves an active family ready for weekly trail runs or breezy hikes and plenty of walks, playtime, and puzzle games to keep him happy and out of trouble. His ideal family understands his enrichment needs. Stitch’s bouncy enthusiasm can overwhelm other dogs, so we strongly recommend a dog-to-dog introduction at the shelter to ensure any future canine housemate is comfortable with his excited playstyle. Come meet this handsome boy today!

Thank you, PawPals Pet Sitting, for spotlighting this adorable pet and supporting FFCAS, Fairfax County Animal Services’ fundraising partner.

Meet Theo-dorable! 💛 This sweet, shy pup has so much love to give once he feels safe. He’s looking for a patient adopter who can help him build confidence with kindness, a calm home, and socialization at his own pace. Could you be the person who helps Theo-dorable blossom?

Thanks to a generous donor, we’re shining a spotlight on Bowser! Tax-deductible donations like this help individual pets gain visibility, encourage adoption, and support the well-being of all animals at Fairfax County Animal Services. Even better, Bowser will go home with a $500 credit at Pender Veterinary Clinic, and his adoption fee is waived. The veterinary credit is provided by the Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter (FFCAS)!

Meet Bowser (A-61561281), also known as King Koopa! At 96 pounds, this big sweetheart would much rather ask for treats than kidnap princesses or conquer kingdoms. He has lived with young children. He can play rough with dogs his size, so any resident dogs should meet him first. Bowser is a little anxious in the shelter and would love a patient home where he can settle in. Bring your whole household to meet this handsome boy!
