Animal Shelters in Fairfax, VA
Fairfax has eight listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. About half are rescue organizations. Chantilly and Herndon, both within about two miles, have listings of their own. There is no shortage of choice in Fairfax — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.
Fairfax has eight 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 Fairfax city and Fairfax County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.
If nothing here suits, Chantilly, Herndon and Newington all have listings within about two 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.
