My story

Meet Fox, the 50lb fluffy, bouncy, orange-and-white dog! Fox is a bundle of happiness you didn’t know you needed. He lives up to his name by being as clever as he is charming, and he`s a perpetual optimist who`s ready to make a grand entrance into your life—literally! When he meets new people, he rushes over with the excitement of a kid on Christmas morning, tail wagging like it’s powered by its own little motor. Expect the occasional jump for joy, because in Fox’s world, greeting someone is a full-body celebration.This handsome adventurer thrives on exercise and enthusiasm. Need a jogging buddy? A running partner? Or just someone to chase a squeaky toy until they`re out of breath? Fox is your guy! Speaking of toys, he’s serious about playtime—chewing toys with gusto like he’s trying out for the championship of Tug-o’-War. In his downtime, he’s perfectly content to entertain himself.Fox is sweet as can be and he does have a couple of quirks—doesn’t everyone? He prefers to enjoy his meals in peace, and he could use a bit of training to fine-tune his leash manners. But here’s the deal: Fox is an eager learner! If your home is missing a dash of playful energy, a sprinkle of floofy charm, and a lot of unconditional love, Fox might just be the perfect addition to your family. If you have another canine family member, we recommend bringing them to meet Fox and make sure he is a good fit for your pack. Come meet Fox today and see if he’s the furry friend of your dreams!If you`d like to meet our available pets, please check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/adopt

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Fox, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
