Local Rescue Group Directory

There are many local rescue groups and animal shelters in NOVA (and surrounding areas) that are housing animals of all different shapes and sizes ready to be adopted. You can be sure to find the perfect pet for you and your family. You can also contact these organizations if you are interested in fostering, volunteering, or donating. Below is a directory for some of the local rescue groups, animal shelters, and humane societies located in NOVA (some of the following rescue groups specialize in certain animals but not in specific breeds):
