Bill Nye hit the trails for an adventure walk thanks to Pawsitivity Pet Services! They wrote:

"I was so happy to see him, but sad that he is still at the shelter. I hope someone adopts him soon because he is such a sweetheart. 🥰

Bill had a nice quiet hike around Ball's Bluff. He enjoyed sniffing all the smells and watching the birds. Bill liked to look at the river as well. He took care of all his business. When we got back to the car Bill laid right down to rest. He was great as always! ❤️"

Bill is available for adoption! Stop by the shelter from 11am-6pm to meet him!

Basil took a quick break from snuggling under his blankets to pose for a picture (he was a little grumpy with us for interrupting his nap😹😻 )! This sweet cat loves a snuggle - you'll often find him curled up in his blankets if a volunteer lap isn't available! 8-year-old Basil has lived with calm dogs and cats before and might do well with animal friends in his next home!

Interested in meeting him? Stop by the shelter! We are open daily 11am-6pm for adoptions.

Mange is a naturally occurring skin disease caused by parasitic mites that can affect both wild and domestic mammals. Foxes are the most commonly seen wild animal with mange in Loudoun County. Foxes with mange often present with missing patches of fur and red, scabby and crusted skin.

It is illegal to administer medication to wildlife without a permit from the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. Treatment for mange can only be done by a licensed veterinarian or permitted wildlife rehabilitator. Placing medicated food in the wild to treat wildlife is both unsafe and illegal. Without a proper veterinary diagnosis and a reliable way to ensure the animal receives the correct medication and dosage, this practice can cause toxicity or serious harm to wildlife and domestic pets.

LCAS Humane Law Enforcement responds to calls for most sick or injured wildlife. Often, foxes with mange are still able evade capture and may not be able to be located by a responding officer. If you see a fox with mange and the fox is acting aggressive, neurologic (unbalanced or "drunk"), or if the fox is staying in one place for an extended period of time and not moving away from noise, or if the fox has had contact with a companion animal or human call LCAS at 703-777-0406 for further assistance. Remember - always keep a safe distance from wildlife.

We love an adoption update! Bucky's family writes:

"Thank you so much, we had a wonderful experience coming to see and then adopt Bucky. We were so impressed with the professionalism of all the staff and the amazing operation you run there to help and save animals.

Bucky is doing great! He is an incredible dog and is settling in like a pro, we hit the lottery with him! He’s so adaptable and well behaved and seems so happy to be part of a family again. He loves walking and has already gone on many walks all around the neighborhood. We feel so lucky to have him. Here are a few pics of him settling in as a new member of the family."

Thank you for adopting! We are so happy to see Bucky fitting right into the family! 🐶❤

A little spicy, a little tangy and with a serious love of heat, meet Tajin! 🌶️✨

Much like her namesake, Tajin is vibrant as can be! You’ll often find Tajin living her best life under her heat lamps, perched on her rock pile and soaking up the rays. Tajin is also a very friendly bearded dragon and has enjoyed meeting many of our camps and tours this summer!

Interested in meeting Tajin? Stop by the shelter - no appointments needed! We are open daily from 11am-6pm.
