Humane Society of Fairfax County

I had a very disappointing experience. The staff was not welcoming at all, especially one older lady who was extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of treating us with kindness and respect, she complained about how many cats we have. This is supposed to be a place that helps low-income people, so it was upsetting to feel judged instead of supported. If someone doesn’t have the patience or compassion to help people, they shouldn’t be working in this type of environment. I hope management addresses how clients are treated so others don’t have the same experience.

Literally so beyond weird. You need to fill out an application online and be approved before you can even meet the cats there. The lady was nice enough but very awkward. The way it’s set up makes it unnecessarily difficult. You should be able to show up, meet the animals, and then see if you want to go through next steps. I recommend going elsewhere.

I had sent an email asking about a dog they had & the dog had been there for months! I had been watching him because I was sincerely interested in adopting him. I immediately followed the email with an application to adopt the dog. My email was responded with you have to send in an application for us to answer any questions, to which I responded that I did. The 2nd email was never responded to & neither was my application. I hope that Sherlock has found a good home. We were able to resue our sweet girl Evie from another rescue. I believe things happen for a reason but you would think that a rescue would be interested in finding the animals home.

Got my sweet boy from here 3 months ago. It was a great experience. The facility is well cared for and the staff was very nice. Michael was great in all of our communications and setting up our meeting with our new pup. Adding a picture of our slightly crazy but incredibly loving rescue dog. He makes us laugh every day and is never without his ball!

Great experience in adopting a dog. All the dogs housed at the farm looked well cared for. I got the opportunity to meet Lisa, Hiedi, and Dave the day I came out to the farm to meet the dog I applied for. They were very helpful and took the time to answer all my questions. I had a great experience with the adoption process at the Humane Society of Fairfax County I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet. They take care of all the animals there as if they were their own pets. I did not meet Noris in person but spoke with her on the phone and via email and she was also very helpful she was the first person I spoke with at HSFC. Update-I adopted another dog friend from HSFC in Oct/2022. I worked Michael and once again the experience was great!!
