We’ve had some wonderful adoption success this week thanks to you helping us spread the word, and we’re not about to lose that momentum. 😻😃

Today, we have a special little lady we’d love to help find her happily ever after. And she was fostered by a dog walker who has been working overtime gathering all this adorable kitten content this week, so let’s make her efforts pay off! ❤️

Meet Ladybug 🐞 , a little black kitten with a big love for people and a talent for finding the coziest place to nap.

Ladybug came to the Prince William County Animal Services Center as a stray on October 2, weighing just 1.38 pounds and suffering from some scrapes on her poor little paw pads. She was sent to foster care to get the TLC she needed and gain a little weight, and just LOOK at her now! 🥹

Her foster family has watched her blossom into a sweet, gentle, people-loving kitten who purrs regularly. She’s been the only kitten in her foster home, so she’s especially focused on her humans. Her favorite activities include playing with springs, enjoying some Sheba pâté, and then finding her favorite place to snuggle… right around your neck.

In fact, her preferred way to say hello is to perch herself right on your shoulder. Because apparently being a lap kitten just isn’t quite close enough to her people. 😹

Ladybug is litter box trained, up to date on her vaccines, and will officially be available for adoption today, just in time for HALLOWEEN! 🎃

Black cats already have a reputation for bringing a little magic into your life. Ladybug is ready to prove it.

Let’s keep those adoptions rolling and help this little lovebug find a family of her very own!

Be still, our short-stack bully-loving hearts! 🥹❤

This ridiculously adorable little meatball, Gilbert, has one very important mission in life, and that’s to bring as much love and joy to his people as possible.

You can’t help but smile watching that squishy, sheepish face beam up at you as he tries to sneak his way into your lap. Or the way he tries to plant a slobbery kiss on you when you’re not looking. Then there’s the irresistible short-legged waddle as he proudly walks by your side, and the little piggy snorts he makes when he’s trying to get an extra good sniff of whatever has caught his attention. 🥹

We’re no strangers to dogs like Gilbert. The ones whose bodies tell the story of a life that hasn’t always been kind to them. But no matter what they’ve been through, they still seem to hold out hope that they’ll get the chance to do what dogs do best. Love their humans and be shown that love right back. And this little ray of sunshine is no different.

Isn’t that what makes you root so darn hard for the underdogs? The ones who might be a little rough around the edges but have hearts of pure gold and SO much love to give if someone will give them that chance.

Gilbert was neutered earlier this week and is ready to go home, lay that meaty head in someone’s lap, and let out one giant sigh of relief. ❤️

Gilbert is estimated to be between 3–5 years old. We don’t know his history with cats, dogs, or kids, so bring the whole family (your canine family members, too!) by the Prince William County Animal Services Center to meet this lovable little short stack! 🐾

😻 Another day, another kitten post! 🤗

A few more kittens were adopted yesterday thanks to your shares but several more also hit the adoption floor! There are going to be so many adorable babies to choose from just in time for the weekend.

A couple kittens to draw your attention to are Ivan and Iggy who are now 3-4 pounds. They got some extra love and attention in foster to help them learn to trust people more. Ivan is the more outgoing and larger of the two brothers and has been helping his little brother Iggy feel more comfortable. Iggy takes longer to warm up but is super sweet once he knows you’re his friend. What do you say, maybe someone wants to keep these brothers together?? 🥰

Many people avoid adopting kittens because they feel they aren’t needy and they aren’t making a difference by adopting them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Municipal shelters depend on kittens to move like swift revolving doors and when they pile up it can cause serious problems, especially for the adult cats who are also waiting and have no space to wait in. If you feel like you need an excuse or permission to adopt a perfect, adorable kitten, there it is. Remember rescuing a shelter pet always helps two. The one you bring home and the one you make room for. So come on out to the Prince William County Animal Services Center and feel zero guilt about committing yourself to one (or two) of these bundles of joy! 🤩

This precious pair. 🥹💖🥰

You may be aware that Char and Mac spent a week in foster and are now back at the Prince William County Animal Services Center. The busy schedules of us admins have left us a little behind when it comes to sorting through the piles and piles of amazing videos, pictures and astute observations of life with these two incredibly colorful characters. Everything we suspected and hoped about these two was brought into clear, crisp focus by their amazing foster mom.

If you have been wondering what it’s like to share your home (and couch and dinner and yard and bed) with Char and Mac please stay tuned as we hope to get a comprehensive post up very soon. If you are eager to have some of your questions answered please please reach out to us either in the comments or through direct message and we promise we will do our best to answer.

And as always, drop by and pay them a visit! They love making friends and will brighten your day with their silly antics. 🤗

Earlier this week we shared with you the Kukur Tihar celebration that took place at the Prince William County Animal Services Center. That event got a great write-up in InsideNoVA which featured a couple of our favorite pups Hank Hill and Dolly! See the full article below and if you want to meet either of these celebrity pups be sure to drop by the Center! 💖🐾

🚨 THE KITTEN POSTS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL INVENTORY DECREASES. 🤗🚨

Yesterday, you showed up for our kittens, and a few babies found their people! 🥹❤️ We’re calling that a win. But friends… we still have a LOT of kittens waiting, and more are on the way.

So yes, you will be seeing more kitten pictures. Yes, we will continue to be ridiculously cute about it. And no, we will not be silenced until these babies are getting spoiled in their own homes. 😹

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
🐾 Adopt a kitten.
🐾 Share this post with someone who needs a kitten.
🐾 Repeat until inventory decreases.

Our foster families have worked SO hard to get these babies ready for their next chapter. Help us make that chapter HOME. 🏡💕

📍 Come meet the kittens waiting at the Prince William County Animal Services Bureau!

Consider this your official warning: we have more kittens than posts, and we know how to use both. 😼

As Pitbull Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re celebrating Taco 🌮🥹 and the beautiful reminder he gives us: sometimes, all a dog needs is a little time, patience, and love to let their true personality shine.

Taco is a 1–3-year-old pittie mix who came to the Prince William County Animal Services Center as a stray. When he first arrived, the shelter was a scary place, and Taco needed some time to figure out that the people here were friends, not foes. 🥺

With patience, kindness, and lots of love from staff and volunteers, Taco has started to let his guard down. And these photos? Well, they tell you everything you need to know about how far he’s come. Just look at him snuggled up with his favorite staff member! 💕

There’s a whole lot of love tucked inside this boy, and he’s learning that it’s safe to share it. This is the side of pitbulls we get to see every single day: the soft, affectionate, people-loving dogs who just need someone to give them a chance.

Pitbull Awareness Month may be ending, but advocating for these deserving dogs doesn’t stop on November 1. Neither does Taco’s search for someone to call his own. 🏡

Could Taco be your new favorite snuggle buddy? Come meet him at the Prince William County Animal Services Center and see for yourself what a little patience and a lot of love can bring out in a dog. 🌮❤️

🆘🐱 KITTEN ADOPTERS NEEDED‼️🐱 🆘

We need to talk about our kittens. ❤️

Right now, we have SO many kittens waiting for homes at the Prince William County Animal Services Bureau, and at least TWO MORE LITTERS are expected to return from foster care soon. We are thrilled that these babies have had a safe place to grow, but we desperately need help finding them families of their own.

And here’s the hard part that doesn’t always make it into the cute kitten pictures…

Behind every kitten is a foster who has poured their heart into them. 🥹 The late nights, the feedings, the cleaning, the socialization, the worry, the laughter, and all those little moments of watching a tiny, vulnerable kitten grow into a happy, healthy, adoptable one. Fosters give these babies so much love and hard work, hoping it will lead to a lifetime of love in a home of their own.

But then their kittens come back to the shelter… and wait.

Day after day, they get a little bigger. And as new, tiny, fluffy faces arrive, the kittens who have already been waiting risk getting overlooked in favor of the newest arrivals. The ones who were once the littlest babies are suddenly the ones watching other kittens get chosen.

💔 They haven’t done anything wrong. They’re just growing up while they wait for someone to choose them.

So we’re asking you to please consider adopting a kitten who is already here.
Here are a few pictures of some of the kittens currently available at the shelter (along with descriptions!), taken by their loving fosters before their trip back to the shelter. Take a look at these sweet faces and see if your new best friend is waiting for you! 🐾

If you’ve been thinking about adding a kitten to your family, please come meet the ones who are already waiting. And if adoption isn’t right for you, please share this post. You never know who might be ready to fall in love.

Let’s give our hardworking fosters the happy ending they’ve been working toward. Let’s get these kittens OUT of the shelter and INTO their homes. 🏡🐾

📍 Visit the Prince William County Animal Services Center and meet your new best friend!

Pupdate- Big boi Bash is off the market. He’s gone home. Bash has been ADOPTED. 🎉❤️

WHERE’S THE BEEF(cake)?! 🍔💪

Well, we’ll tell ya! He’s hanging out at the Prince William County Animal Services Center, and his name is BASH!

This young XL Bully is friendly, playful, ridiculously handsome, and built like a dump truck.

There are a few things you might want to consider before deciding if Bash needs to come home with you:

🐾 If you drive a compact car, Bash may not be your guy.

🐾 If you enjoy having room on the couch to stretch out, Bash may not be your guy.

🐾 If you consider yourself more of a lapdog person, well… actually, we wouldn’t rule him out just yet. 😂

🐾 If you’re easily outmuscled by a 35-pound Beagle on a sniff mission at the end of a leash, Bash may not be your guy.

🐾 If this 120-pound hunk of solid muscle outweighs YOU, well… you may want to think this through.

BUT… if you love the big, meaty boys, appreciate a goofy personality, and are comfortable handling a whole lotta dog, Bash might be EXACTLY your guy! ❤️

And something tells us there are a few people out there who will take one look at this big, handsome hunk and know he’s exactly the dog they’ve been looking for. We sure hope one of them finds him soon!

Come meet Bash at the Prince William County Animal Services Center! 🐾
