My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bobby, a gentle soul with a big heart who`s just beginning to discover that the world can be a safe and loving place! This sweet, shy little guy came to us a bit fearful and unsure, but with patience and kindness, he’s started to come out of his shell! At first, Bobby was hesitant to be handled, but he’s made great progress. Now, he welcomes gentle pets and even seeks out affection, placing his front paws on his favorite people for comfort or climbing into their laps for some extra love. Bobby is still learning that some things, like vet checks and collars, can be okay, and he may need a little extra patience in those moments! Bobby would thrive in a quiet, patient home with people who understand that love and trust take time! Bobby is looking for an adults only home where he will be the only pet. If Bobby sounds like the right addition to your pack, come meet him today!

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
