Adoption Event Sunday

Join us this Sunday from 1 – 4 PM at the McLaren Sargent Pavilion at Lake Accotink Park (5660 Heming Ave, Springfield) for Braddock Bark. This event is always a favorite of ours. There will be lots of fun things for the whole family, human and pups alike. Most importantly there will be lots of our pups and dogs for you to meet and fall in love with. Scheduled to appear: Schlab Pups and Cute Felix. (This list will be updated throughout the week so check back often.)

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

Giving Tuesday The Gift of Forever

Please consider starting off this holiday season with the gift of love by making a Giving Tuesday donation to A Forever Home Rescue. No matter how large or small, your generosity will make the life of abandoned, abused, and orphaned dogs and pups healthy, happy, and secure.

Thanks to our generous supporters, we have been able to help pregnant moms and dogs with heartworm or needing surgery. We have rescued dogs and pups from hoarding situations or abandoned. We have helped dogs whose owners passed away or could no longer care for them. . Without your help, these sweet souls would have no chance of finding a forever homes.

On this #GivingTuesday your donations ensure that we continue to give life, hope and the love of a forever home!
