Our Puppies Need Your Help
Our babies need your help. Sadly some of them have come down with parvo which is a dangerous virus that can be very costly to treat, up to $5000 for a a single pup. If you can help with even just $5, we would really appreciate the donation. You can click on the DONATE button, send a check to AFH, PO Box 222801, Chantilly, VA 20153, or drop your donation off at any of our adoption events. We are grateful for any support you can provide.

Chantilly’s First Pet Mayor Collared
Charlie the Dog Takes Office: Chantilly’s First Pet Mayor Officially Collared – The votes have been counted, the tails have been wagged,
and history has been made. AFH proudly hosted the firstever Pet Mayor of Chantilly Collaring Ceremony on February 15, 2025, at Lazy Dog Restaurant in Chantilly, VA. The star of the event? Pet Mayor Charlie, a rescue dog with big dreams, a wagging tail, and an agenda focused on treat distribution, belly rub quotas, and ensuring all pets find their forever homes.
The ceremony, officiated by Virginia State Senator Kannan Srinivasan, marked the official swearing-in of Mayor Charlie, Chief of Paw-lice Maya, Fur Chief Gus, and the seven members of the Pet Council, including Glamorous Barcode, a trailblazing Leopard Gecko representing the
reptilian community.
“Today, we celebrate leadership that truly understands loyalty, unconditional love, and the importance of snack breaks,” said Senator Srinivasan during the ceremony. “These pets symbolize the joy and companionship that rescue animals bring into our lives—and they also
ran much cleaner campaigns than most human politicians.”PetMayorPressRelease
