About this shelter

Worthy Dog Rescue in Arlington, VA

Worthy Dog Rescue is a nonprofit organization recognized as a 501(c)(3) entity, operated entirely by volunteers. Our commitment is to assist dogs in distress, particularly those living in chains, pens, or facing neglect and abuse. Our mission is to enhance the lives of these dogs while tackling the underlying issues of animal overpopulation and promoting animal welfare. We achieve this through community outreach, support and education for dog owners in underserved areas, sponsorship of spay and neuter programs, and the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs in need.

Before you go

Adopting from Worthy Dog Rescue

Adoption process

The adoption process involves several steps. First, you will need to submit an application. Next, a phone interview will be conducted to discuss your application further. After that, a veterinary check will be performed to ensure that any existing pets are healthy and well-cared for. Following the veterinary check, a home visit will be scheduled to assess your living environment. Finally, once all steps are completed and reviewed, you will receive approval for adoption.
