What happens to your donations?
Donations from the Wish List go directly to support Shelter animals, both at the Shelter and in our foster program. Items that we cannot use go to wildlife rescue organizations, select shelters and rescues in need, and to the Ani-Meals program at the Humane Society of Fairfax County.
Are there items you do not accept?
We do not accept fitted sheets, pillows, comforters, bedspreads or couch cushions. We cannot use these items and do not have room to store them.
We do not accept open medications.
Where can I leave donations when you are closed?
Please do NOT leave donations outside when the Shelter is closed; we only accept them during hours we are open. Thank you.
