Dale City Pets Who Need A Home: Luna, Elliot, Chase & More

Do you want to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Dale City community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! During the coronavirus pandemic, many shelters in the Dale City area are still working to fulfill adoptions.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home throughout Virginia — many of whom are located near you. In the search for a lovable new fur child, consider looking around at a local facility like A Cats Friend Inc, where Mabel Mae the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes.

If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Luna, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
