Before being matched with Service Dog Greer, 8-year-old Yukta had to rely on her family for every task, like picking up dropped pencils, carrying her lunchbox, and opening and closing doors. With Greer by her side, Yukta has the confidence to do things on her own. This was made possible thanks to generous donors like you!

But your help is needed now more than ever. More than 500 people are waiting for an expertly trained that will provide newfound independence! 🐕‍🦺

Every dollar you donate now is matched, up to $75,000 to Help End the Wait.

Animal Services Update 🚨

Fairfax County is in the process of transitioning animal control services to the newly named Department of Animal Services (formerly the Department of Animal Sheltering).

As part of this transition, Animal Services Officers will gradually take over responsibilities currently handled by Animal Protection Police Officers. Residents may begin seeing Animal Services Officers on the road, responding to calls.

There will be no disruption in service, and no changes to how Fairfax County residents request assistance:

📞 For emergencies, call 911
📞 For animal-related concerns (including wildlife), call 703-691-2131

Fairfax County Animal Shelter programs and services will remain the same.

We are committed to keeping residents informed and will continue to share updates as they become available. For more details and the most current information, visit: fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/animal-control-transition.
