Kitty

My story

A dog named after a cat, who would’ve thought it?! Make no mistake, sweet Kitty the 50lb young adult dog is absolutely a canine and seeking a patient new family. Kitty came to the shelter as a stray and has been gaining confidence ever since. She is seeking a gentle and loving family to help her grow past her shyness and fear. Kitty is aloof and anxious at first but give her time to warm up to you. Once Kitty becomes comfortable, she will seek out pets and attention from you while becoming a loose and wiggly girl! Kitty has shown fear when exposed to other dogs while here at the shelter. Because of this, potential adopters need to bring any canine family members to the shelter to meet Kitty, to make sure she is a good fit for your pack. This gorgeous gal just needs a steady and caring home to thrive in. Could that be yours? Come meet and adopt Kitty the dog, today! Please email our main inbox at animalshelter@fairfaxcounty.gov to get more information on her and set up a time to visit her with our animal care lead, behaviorist or animal care manager. This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!Be sure to 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
