What an incredible weekend for our partner, Fairfax County Animal Services. Their Clear the Shelters event was a big success, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make it possible. Most of all, congratulations to the families and individuals who opened their hearts and homes to a new pet.

The response was so wonderful that they are doing it all over again this weekend, Friday, August 28, through Sunday, August 30. If you didn’t meet your new best friend last weekend, this is your second chance. Every adoption changes a life—and it also creates space for another animal who is waiting for safety, care, and a chance to be loved.

“We’re so happy to share a few of the pets we sponsored during the event who found loving homes! We’re also highlighting a few more wonderful animals who are still waiting for their forever families. Could one of them be the perfect match for you?”

The goodest girl in the world is here! 🐶

Sweet, gentle Missy is one of a kind. If her 7 years of life have taught her anything, it’s that humans are the BEST! She absolutely adores her small human and dog friends and takes extra care being kind and gentle with them. She is a dream on walks and will happily trot next to you with regular sniff breaks. She even has a fashionable side and has no worries about dressing up for the camera. Just make sure you get her good side, not that she has a bad one.

Missy is looking for a loving home to shower her in praise and affection. Virginia residents can take Missy home on a five-day Adoption Audition. Thank you to Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter for keeping the goodest girl looking her best.

I’m Neena, a 6-year-old cat who came here from a home with many other feline friends, and I’m now ready to find a family of my own! A new home may feel a little overwhelming for me at first, so I’m looking for someone who can offer patience, love, and a little time to adjust. Once I start to feel comfortable, you’ll get to watch my personality shine. If you’re looking for a new companion, stop by to meet me today!

Guess what? I’m eligible for Adoption Audition! Since I’m a cat, my audition period is 14 days. If you choose me, I’ll also go home with a dental cleaning voucher courtesy of the wonderful donors who support the mission of Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter (Fundraising partner for Fairfax County Animal Services)

Update: Adopted!

Thank you Paw Pals Pet Sitting for shining a light on this gentle pair of bonded cats! And, supporting the mission of FFCAS, the fundraising partner to Fairfax County Animal Services.

🐾 Meet Lulo & Rayo! 🐾
These sweet, gentle boys are a bonded pair looking for a patient, loving home together. Rayo is a timid soul who needs time, patience, and a soft approach as he settles into new people and spaces. With a calm voice and a gentle hand to sniff, his sweet nature begins to shine. Lulo, his grey tabby best friend, is just as sensitive and may hide until he feels safe—but he always comes out for mealtime and finds comfort in routine.
Lulo and Rayo came to the shelter together after their owner moved and could not bring them along. Through all the change, one thing has stayed constant: they rely on each other. Lulo gains confidence from feline companions, and Rayo looks to Lulo for reassurance. Their bond is clear, and staying together will help them thrive.

With a slow, thoughtful introduction to their new home, these two gentle boys will blossom. They’re a perfect match for someone who understands shy cats and wants to offer a safe, quiet space filled with love. If you have room in your heart for two sensitive, loyal companions, come meet Rayo and Lulo—a pair who truly belong together. 💛

Lulo and Rayo are currently in a foster home. If you’d like to visit with them and hopefully adopt, please include their names and A-numbers in your email so Fairfax County Animal Services can coordinate getting them back to the appropriate shelter location.
