Animal Lovers; We Need You

Come to our Holiday Open House; December 22, noon-5 p.m.

Are you interested in snuggling a downy, soft kitten? Exercising an energetic hound? Or answering questions about reptiles, rabbits, or many other animals in the Fairfax County Animal Shelter? Consider volunteering at the shelter and join us for an open house at the Shelter; Saturday, December 22, from noon until 5 p.m. Meet new director Tawny Hammond; tour the newly constructed spacious animal adoption wing, enjoy holiday refreshments and learn about the many opportunities to volunteer.

As you consider your new year’s resolutions, consider becoming a volunteer with the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. The Shelter is located at 4500 West Ox Rd., Fairfax, VA 22030. Regular adoption hours are Tuesday – Friday, 12 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. For more information, contact the shelter at (703) 830-1100. The Fairfax County Animal Shelter is offering a free spay or neuter for the first 100 cats, kittens, dogs or puppies adopted from the shelter through December 31. The special offer is part of the shelter’s annual Home for the Holidays adoption program. The shelter has loving cats and dogs available for adoption, in addition to a host of rabbits, small mammals, reptiles and birds.
