Become an Adoption Center Sponsor
In September 2013, an opportunity to lease a nearby facility that had previously operated as a commercial doggy daycare and boarding facility came our way. We immediately pursued it and found it to be the perfect next step for our organization. HT has always been open to the possibility of securing its own facility but the cost of purchasing an appropriate facility was prohibitive. Since we opened our doors more than 5,000 dogs have called the Adoption Center home.
Our facility, located at 11118 Fairfax Station Road, Fairfax Station, VA has offered HT the opportunity to quadruple the number of dogs we rescue and provide them with a clean, positive, safe, temporary home and a significant amount of fenced outdoor space for playing.
The facility is overseen by a full-time manager and support staff who care for more than 50 dogs. The Adoption Center is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM – 4 PM (and weekdays by appointment) for adopters to come meet and adopt our fabulous pups.
We have many exciting sponsorship and naming opportunities for animal lovers who wish to help us make this exciting dream come true. Your continued support will help pay for additional fencing, improvements, upgrades and supplies.
