Animal Shelters in Alexandria, VA
Alexandria has 13 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. About half are rescue organizations. Arlington and Springfield, both within about six miles, have listings of their own. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in Alexandria, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.
Alexandria has 13 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The listings fall across Alexandria city and Fairfax County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.
If nothing here suits, Arlington, Springfield and Fort Washington all have listings within about seven miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
