Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Lobelia – The Blue-Eyed Beauty with a Heart of Gold! Lobelia isn’t just smart—she’s stunning! With her mesmerizing blue eyes and striking brown-and-white coat, this 45-pound sweetheart turns heads everywhere she goes. She already knows “sit” (because brains AND beauty? Yes, please!) and is eager to learn more tricks with her new family. Playtime is her jam—she’ll happily swap toys for treats or even other toys, and she’s totally cool if you take a toy from her. When it comes to affection, Lobelia is a cuddle connoisseur, soaking up pets and scratches like a pro. She might start off a little shy with new people, but give her a moment and she’ll show off her loving, trusting side. Shelter life can make her a bit bouncy or skittish sometimes, but underneath that wiggle is a gentle, kind soul ready to shine. Lobelia is dreaming of a patient, caring family to help her build confidence and blossom into the amazing companion she’s meant to be—could she be the missing piece of your family puzzle? Lobelia will thrive in a home with older children or adults, as her playful jumpiness means safety comes first! If you already have a dog, be sure to bring them along for a meet-and-greet to ensure they’ll be the perfect match. This gorgeous girl has been patiently waiting for her new family—could it be you? Come meet this gorgeous girl and prepare to fall in love!
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

1 - Look at adoptable pets online, and when you see one you want to meet and possibly adopt, come into the shelter to visit with your prospective pet.
2 - Once at the shelter, walk through to see available pets and then visit with the one(s) you are considering adopting. A volunteer or staff member will facilitate the visit and tell you more about the pet you’re visiting.
3 - Once you decide that you would like to adopt, head to the main lobby to complete our brief adoption questionnaire and wait to speak with one of our adoption counselors to go over any questions you might have. We'll go over all of the available behavioral and medical history of the pet you want to adopt.
4 - Complete your adoption! Most pets can go home the day they are adopted, but some must be picked up one or two days later after their spay/neuter appointment.
Notes: 1) Some pets are in foster homes, and that is noted in their bio. If you are interested in a pet who is in a foster home, please email the shelter to arrange a visit. 2) Some special needs animals will be adopted on a best-fit basis, rather than the usual first-come-first-served.

More about this shelter
The Fairfax County Animal Shelter is Fairfax County’s only open-access municipal shelter. We take in stray animals in need, owner surrendered companion animals when the owner is no longer willing or able to care for them, and animals who have been seized or taken into custody by Animal Protection Police. We accept all companion animals from Fairfax County who are in need of care, regardless of health, age, temperament, or history. We do not euthanize for space or length of time, and all adoptable animals are given every opportunity for a new home and family. We have an incredibly compassionate staff, and we also have vibrant and active volunteer and foster programs. We know that every animal who enters our shelter will be given the best care and shown boundless love while they are in our care, and while they wait for their forever family to adopt them. We are very proud that, since 2013, our positive release rate has been over 90% each year!
