Fauquier SPCA

Fauquier SPCA Private Non-Profit Animal Shelter In 1989 the present Fauquier SPCA shelter was built in Casanova, Virginia on eleven acres of donated land.

For many years the shelter was housed at Dogpatch Farm, just outside of Warrenton, Virginia, in a small building about 100 feet square. This facility boasts 36 dog kennels, six dog quarantine kennels, and three separate cat rooms, including a cat sunroom. We have a spay/neuter clinic where shelter and privately owned dogs and cats are sterilized. There is also a barn and fenced paddocks to house livestock, exercise dogs, and provide additional storage space.

Remember Leo, our stuffie inspector connoisseur? Can you believe he is still here? Neither can we! This patient boy waits in his kennel and watches as everyone passes him by. A few have come to meet him, but for whatever reason, it just hasn't been his turn yet. So, our goofy boy is trying something new! Leo would really love to meet you! Come by any day, except Wednesdays, between 12:00 - 4:00 and ask to see this eager guy in a room or our spacious paddocks for some fun and wiggles!

August may be over, but the celebration is just beginning! So many wonderful cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens have found their forever homes! Please join us in congratulating these lucky pets and sending a huge THANK YOU to the amazing adopters who opened their hearts and homes. We’re especially thrilled that some of our longest residents (Neteyam!) found loving new families! If you’re ready to meet your new best friend, stop by the shelter any day except Wednesday from 12–4. We can’t wait to see you! https://www.fauquierspca.com/adopt/
Adopted but camera shy kittens were Penny Rice, Goldfinch, Hoot, Chirp, Crow, Hector, and Ajax!

Please look at this sweet little face. Really look at it. What would you do for this baby if they were yours? Would you spend whatever it took to get them the care they needed? Would you sit in a veterinarian’s office praying for good news? Would you open your home, your heart, and your arms to rescue them from a shelter? Because this is the heartbreaking reality for babies just like this one, every single day.

This little one came from Tiny Paws, a puppy shop. The person who bought this baby surrendered them to our shelter shortly after purchasing them because the dogs in the home did not get along. When profit is involved, proper measures like meet and greets with existing pets, home and/or landlord checks, or even just ensuring current pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and care does not take precedence. This baby, at just 12 weeks old, is now starting over in a shelter instead of being safe, loved, and cared for in the way every puppy deserves.

We are begging our community to please understand what is happening. We are seeing more and more animals surrendered after coming from puppy stores, puppy mills that supply those stores, and even rescues that will not take responsibility for the animals they placed. Shelters and responsible rescues are drowning under a burden we did not create, trying desperately to save innocent lives that should never have been put in this position.

Please, please do not support puppy stores, puppy mills, or irresponsible rescues. Puppy stores are not supplied by reputable, caring breeders. Puppy mills are built on profit, not compassion. And irresponsible rescues leave the heartbreak for others to clean up while animals suffer the consequences.

There has to be a change, and it has to start with us. Companion animals are not products. They are not inventory. They are innocent, feeling lives who never asked to be overbred, exploited, discarded, or “rescued” beyond what is humane. Please help us protect them before they end up scared, sick, and alone in a shelter. They deserve so much better than this.

Sayla’s kennel life doesn’t tell her whole story, and her recent sleepover proved it!
Sayla is one of the many wonderful dogs at our shelter who has been overlooked time and time again. Like so many amazing pups waiting for homes, she doesn’t always show her best self in the kennel, but once she had the chance to relax in a home environment, her true personality shined.
Sayla came to us a few months ago as a stray and was never claimed, so we don’t know what her life was like before she found her way to us. What we do know is this, Sayla knows what home means!
During her sleepover, Sayla was respectful of her surroundings, did well around the resident kitties, enjoyed a long walk, ran around the house, played for hours, picked her favorite spot on the couch, and settled in for a cozy nap while watching Alice in Wonderland, (she especially loved the flower song)!
That night, she curled up by her sleepover buddy’s side and stayed there until everyone was up the next morning. After a potty break and breakfast, Sayla headed out for a fun trip to Petco and the farmer’s market, where everyone who met her said she was the cutest, most well-behaved pup. She soaked up the pets, kisses, and attention, and even rocked an adorable new bandana for the rest of the day!
Stories like Sayla’s are such an important reminder that some dogs are loud, nervous, quiet, boisterous, or unsure in the kennel, but that doesn’t mean they won’t blossom once they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. If a dog catches your eye on our website, please ask to meet them in an adoption room or outside in one of our beautiful paddocks. You might be surprised by who they really are once they have space to shine.
Sayla is housebroken, spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccines, and is ready to find her forever home! Come meet Sayla and all of her friends that are also patiently waiting to let you see who they are inside and out! We are open every day from 12-4, except for Wednesdays, with no appointment needed!

Saturday was a wonderful day at Powers Brewery for the Dog Days of Summer event to support the Fauquier SPCA.

Congratulations to Penny and her owner for winning “Best Summer Outfit” and to Cassie and her owners for winning the “Best Look -A-Alike”

VanGough and Viper( pit/terrier puppies from the shelter) were able to visit. This was their first outing! They lapped up all the loving from both children and adults. Come visit them at the Fauquier SPCA!

At the very end we had a special visitor show up, Teddy Roosevelt. He was the sweetest Labradoodle and wanted to pose for a photo!

Gratitude is extended to Vinnys in Bealeton, VA for sponsoring this event, to Powers Brewery for hosting the SPCA and to our volunteers; Karen, Dave and Angela. The shelter could not operate without the generous support from our community!
