This is my local resuce, and I am proud to volunteer there. Their volunteer program is incredibly well run, and has a vast array of projects and areas to volunteer in.

The shelter's great Training and Behavior Department Chair impacts operations of the whole shelter in such a positive way, trying to find ways to make sure that the animals have the best experience possible while waiting for thier adopters to find them.

Review for A Forever-Home Rescue Foundation, Inc., Chantilly, VA, USA
Three years ago, I adopted my beloved Sophie from A Forever Home. I didn't know much about rescues then. Years later, as my practice moved towards animal law, I had the chance to work with A Forever Home as a client. I could not have been more proud to see that the rescue Sophie came from was so well put together and professional, and so dedicated to animal welfare. A Forever Home does not just focus on local welfare needs. They have been one of the few rescues called upon for aid in puppy mill busts and disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and have been right there to save the animals!

Review for Homeward Trails Animal Rescue Incorporated, Fairfax Sta, VA, USA

Homeward Trails implements innovative and creative ways to fundraise and administer the organization, and has a fantastic network of volunteers and fosters.
