Sweetheart Sanctuary

Sweetheart Sanctuary is a strictly volunteer organization comprised of a group of foster homes throughout the Northern Virginia area. The exempt purpose of Sweetheart Sanctuary is charitable and classified under Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. In an effort to give quality of life and decrease the numbers of offspring to dogs and cats which are often discarded, injured, or suffer from starvation, we are committed to providing food, shelter, emergency medical care, and spay/neuter procedures to animals in kill shelters as well as stray and abandoned animals in cases of emergency
and as space permits.
