Tito is our May Shelter Spotlight! A soft soul looking for a quiet, comfy home to claim as his own. We know deep down that Tito wants to be a lovebug, so someone who is willing to put the time and effort in to making sure he feels safe and secure is exactly what he’ll need. Offering him a dark, safe space in the home where there is minimal foot traffic will be key in ensuring he blossoms into the affectionate, loving little guy we’re hoping he’ll be.

If Tito sounds like the kind of cat you’re looking for, visit him at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, Lorton Campus, 8875 Lorton Road, Lorton.

Spring has sprung—and that means allergy season for many of us (and our pets too!)

If your pet exhibits any allergy symptoms, such as: scratching, excessing shedding, paw licking, or respiratory issues make an appointment at BurkeForestVet.com!

While over-the-counter medications are sometimes recommended—they are not as effective. We can recommend the best prescription medication to help your pet mitigate those seasonal allergy symptoms!
