Home with us until they’re home with you.℠
FOHA is the enduring gold standard in quality for no-kill rescues, saving and improving the lives of homeless cats and dogs. We strive to:

  • Bring an end to the unnecessary killing of companion animals
  • Provide a safe haven for abused and abandoned animals
  • Provide food, shelter, medical care, rehabilitation, and compassion to homeless animals
  • Find permanent, loving homes for the animals in our care
  • And, most importantly, bring about a time when there will be no more homeless pets and every dog and cat can be guaranteed a loving home

Unique initiatives include:

  • The Senior Care Plan, which waives adoption fees for senior dogs and reimburses up to $1500 in medical
  • FIV+ Cat Program - FOHA is proud to be one of a handful of shelters and rescues in Virginia that consistently rescues cats testing positive for FIV.
  • Have a Heart – Heartworm Program, where FOHA regularly brings in dogs that are Heartworm positive and treats them
  • Enrichment programs for dogs and cats, including Tails to Trails, where senior volunteers take dogs for a 3 mile hike once a week at a local park
