About this shelter

Mutt Love Rescue in Fairfax, VA

We are committed to rescuing dogs that are homeless for various reasons, including those in public shelters facing a high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, dogs surrendered by their owners under difficult circumstances, and those at risk of abuse or neglect. Our goal is to place these dogs in loving, responsible, and dedicated permanent homes. We follow a thorough adoption process that emphasizes careful matching and educating potential adopters about the responsibilities and costs associated with dog ownership. We collaborate with local and rural shelters as well as other rescue and humane organizations to build a network of supporters and volunteers, all aimed at improving the lives of homeless pets.

Adopting from Mutt Love Rescue

Adoption process

The adoption process for potential adopters involves several steps. First, interested individuals must complete an application. Following this, they will participate in an interview, and references will be verified. A home visit will also be conducted. Once these steps are completed, an adoption contract will be signed. The adoption fee is $285, which covers the cost of a spayed or neutered, fully vetted, and microchipped dog.

Service area
The organization serves the Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
