Lily’s journey has been one of resilience and healing. Found as a stray, she arrived at Spotsylvania Animal Shelter in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in dire condition, with severe hair loss and skin irritations. After weeks of special veterinary care, Lily is now on the mend—her coat is growing back and making progress each day.

At six years old and weighing 45-50 pounds, Lily is a quiet, gentle dog who spends most of her time resting in her kennel. She’s deaf, requiring slow introductions and a calm, patient environment to feel comfortable. Due to her hearing impairment and past trauma, the shelter recommends a home where Lily can be the only pet and without young children, allowing her to enjoy a peaceful and stress-free life.

If you’re looking for a loyal and cuddly companion, Mochi might be the perfect fit! Stop by the Manassas City Animal Adoption Center to meet her in person and give her the happy home she deserves.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25, 2025, is the final day to take advantage of free spaying and neutering for adopted pets at the Prince William County Animal Shelter.

To mark World Spay Day, the shelter has offered a special adoption event, covering the cost of standard spay and neuter procedures for all adoptions from February 21–25, 2025. This means there’s still one more day to bring home a furry friend while ensuring they receive essential veterinary care at no extra cost.

Seven-month-old Zeke has been growing up in his foster home, eagerly awaiting a family to call his own. This energetic pup arrived at the shelter as a stray, and despite his sweet nature, no one came to claim him. But that hasn’t dampened his spirit—Zeke has been having a blast playing and learning alongside his canine foster siblings.

Zeke would thrive in a home with another dog or a family committed to keeping him socialized. Due to his playful, sometimes mouthy nature, he would do best in a household with children aged 8 and up. He’s already house and crate trained, travels well in the car, and is ready to bring joy to his new family.

Three loving feline sisters are looking for a new home at the Stafford County Animal Shelter. Abigail, Tabatha, and Fantasia, all 9-years-old, were recently surrendered through no fault of their own. Now, they are waiting for a family to open their hearts and home to them.

Each of these cats has a unique personality:

Boy, oh boy—can these boys use a miracle. Eeny and Tigger have endured a heartbreaking journey over the past few months, but we’re hopeful their luck will change.

First, these sweet cats lost their beloved caretaker. A family member took them in, offering comfort and stability—until, sadly, they lost their home again. When they arrived at Prince William County Animal Services, they were completely shell-shocked. Tigger became withdrawn and depressed, while Eeny, overwhelmed with fear, became defensive. Despite trying different housing arrangements and plenty of treats, Eeny remained hesitant.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion to add to your family, Groot might just be the perfect match! This adorable three-year-old arrived at Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter as a stray, and staff are still getting to know him.

Groot may take a little time to warm up, often appearing confused until he gets to know you. He could use some confidence building, but with the right family, he’ll surely come out of his shell. His interactions with other dogs and cats are still being assessed, but updates will be available soon.
