Fairfax County's only open-access, municipal animal shelter. With 4 - 5,000 animals coming through it's doors each year, Fairfax County is the largest jurisdiction in the United States with an animal placement rate above 90%. One of the strategic objectives of the shelter is to use creative, innovative social media strategies to save lives.
In 2013, Fairfax County, with more than one million residents, became the largest jurisdiction in the U.S. with a live release rate of animals above 90%. So far in 2014, our live release rate is 95%. If we can do it, so can your local shelter!
