Mutt Love Rescue
P.O. Box 1005 Fairfax, Virginia 22038About 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.
