FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – National Rescue Dog Day is coming up on May 20, and Old Dominion Humane Society (ODHS) is using the occasion to shine a spotlight on its mission to save, heal, and rehome dogs in need—every single day of the year.

According to a release from ODHS, the Fredericksburg-based nonprofit is calling on the community to adopt, foster, volunteer, and donate in support of the thousands of dogs that come through their doors. Since opening in 2013, the all-volunteer organization has found homes for more than 8,000 dogs—many rescued from neglectful situations, hoarding cases, and overcrowded shelters across the South.

Who could resist this adorable head tilt?

Drac is a charming, curious pup currently available for adoption at the City of Manassas Animal Adoption Center. With one look, he’ll melt your heart—and he’s hoping you’ll find him as irresistible in person as he is in photos.

Two lovable bunnies are patiently waiting for their forever families at the Manassas City Animal Adoption Center — and shelter staff can’t believe they haven’t been adopted yet.

Burt, a sweet grey and white bunny, was found as a stray. His buddy, Bunny, a brown and white rabbit, was surrendered by his previous owner at 8 years old, simply because they no longer wanted him.

O’Riley is a lovable 2-year-old hound mix with a sleek gray and black coat and a personality that shines even brighter. Found as a stray, he came to the shelter with a possible fracture in his right hind leg and a small head wound—but after some much-needed care, he’s fully recovered and ready for a new beginning.

This good boy is full of heart, adventure, and the classic hound’s musical voice. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a cuddle on the couch, or a road trip with the windows down, O’Riley is ready to be your loyal companion.

The Prince William County Animal Services Center is hoping to reunite several recently found pets with their owners. Between March 18 and March 20, 2025, the center took in multiple stray animals from across the county.

These pets may have wandered too far from home, and now they’re waiting at the shelter for someone to come claim them.

Shug and Ziggy, a lovable pair of Lab/Poodle mixes, are looking for their forever home! These two affectionate pups, just 1 year and 10 months old, are already spayed, great with other dogs, and wonderful with children. Plus, they’re both house and crate trained—making them the perfect addition to a loving family.

As a Lab/Poodle mix, Shug and Ziggy will require regular grooming, so potential adopters should be prepared for the additional care and expenses that come with their fluffy coats.

Bob, a handsome and playful one-year-old pup, is searching for his forever family! Weighing in at 52 pounds, Bob was recently surrendered by his previous owner, who found that apartment life just didn’t suit his high-energy personality. He would love a home with space to stretch his legs and plenty of opportunities to play.

This friendly guy enjoys learning new things and already walks well on a leash. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, trainable companion, Bob might be the perfect match!
