Loudoun County Animal Care & Control
Our Mission
Loudoun County Animal Services is dedicated to enriching the lives of homeless pets and helping them find loving, permanent homes. We believe in the power of community-supported initiatives to create brighter futures for every animal in our care.
Our Commitment to Care
As an open-admission shelter, we are committed to providing care for every animal that comes through our doors, regardless of their age, breed, or temperament. We prioritize reducing euthanasia by utilizing innovative approaches to sheltering, including robust fostering and transfer partnership programs. Our goal is to balance the welfare of the animals with our deep responsibility to the public we serve.
How We Operate
We believe that a shelter should be a supportive, temporary bridge between a pet's past and their future. Through our commitment to Fear-Free principles and a dedicated staff of professionals, we ensure that every animal receives health and behavior assessments to support their unique needs. We also offer resources like our PAWS program to provide support long after a pet is adopted, ensuring successful transitions for both pets and their new families.
Your Role in Their Journey
Choosing to adopt is a life-changing experience, and we are here to make that process as joyful and rewarding as possible. Whether you are looking for a lifelong companion or interested in becoming a foster, you are playing a vital role in our mission. Our staff is here to provide the guidance you need to find the perfect match for your home and lifestyle.
Connect With Us
We invite you to visit our shelter in Leesburg to meet our wonderful, adoptable pets in person. You can also explore our available animals online or discover our many ways to get involved, from volunteering to supporting our community programs. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!
