Pets Bring Joy Rescue

Pets Bring Joy is a 501(c)(3) animal rescue serving the D.C. metro area. Our mission is to provide help and hope to small "grass roots" rescuers.

Pets Bring Joy's mission is to provide help and hope to small "grass-roots" rescuers in Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C. Metro area by finding loving permanent homes for previously at-risk homeless animals in their care ... we do so by:

- Sponsoring their animals for adoption through Pets Bring Joy, emphasizing often overlooked (older and/or special needs) pets;

- Promoting them to prospective adopters via the Internet and through a PetSmart Charities-sponsored adoption center located in the East Fairfax, Virginia PetSmart store;

- Orchestrating a formal adoption process to ensure their placement in qualified, loving forever homes;

- Educating volunteers, adopters, and the public at large on the plight of homeless animals -- especially the importance of spaying/neutering pets;

- Mentoring small "grass-roots" rescues with regard to best rescue practices;

- Encouraging collaboration within the local rescue community so that our combined rescue efforts have a greater impact on reducing the homeless animal population than any one of us might achieve single-handedly.

Animal rescue organization serving the D.C. metro area, emphasizing saving the lives of older cats and dogs who are often passed over for kittens and puppies.
