Rescue FAQs

Pets Bring Joy is a small charitable organization located in Fairfax, Virginia -- our mission is to collaborate with rural shelters and small grass-roots rescuers in finding loving homes for homeless animals, emphasizing rescuing adult cats who are often passed over at shelters in favor of kittens. We rely on the kindness of volunteer foster families to care for the majority of our pets in their homes. We are also thankful to the following adoption centers for promoting our kitties: East Fairfax PetSmart, Pet Supplies Plus, and PetMAC DC.
We are a small, all-volunteer rescue located in Northern Virginia, serving the Washington D.C. metro area.

Additional adoption info

We require completion of an initial on-line application; our evaluation process involves two phone interviews, a vet reference check, and a home visit.

For information regarding our adoption process and adoption fees, please visit our website -- petsbringjoy.org -- and click on the ADOPT link at the top of the home page.
