Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter is the 501(c)(3) fundraising partner of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, which is a county run municipal shelter. Friends raises funds to provide lifesaving medical care, dental care, parasite prevention, and more to the pets at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter with the help of our generous community.

Put on your best outfit and join Friends for our first ever Wine, Whiskers, and Wags Gala! You won’t want to miss this black tie optional fundraising event that supports pets at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. Donations will be acknowledged through our silent auction website which will be shared with over 7,000 constituents via email and over 11,000 followers on Facebook. It will also be shared on our shelter partner's Facebook page, which has over 63,000 followers. We believe your generosity would be a catalyst to help Friends reach their fundraising goals.
