Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Every now and then a special needs dog comes in and touches your heart like no other. Wanda is that dog for us. She has endured 8 yrs. of neglect, abuse and almost total abandonment. But...her spirit has never broken. She wants attention, she craves love and when you see her tail wag and the glee in her eye when you approach it almost breaks your heart to know she wants these things but is scared to receive them. She will come around with time and patience and love. She is an incredibly gentle Retriever mix and we know as soon as you get to know her you will feel the same way we do. This is the dog you've been wanting to rescue your whole life and this is the dog who has been waiting for you. Come and meet Wanda and bring lots of love.
To see Wanda, submit an adoption application at http://hsfc.org/adoptions/applications/online/. Staff will contact you—typically within two business days—for a phone interview and to schedule an appointment to visit the Farm in Centreville where our dogs and horses are kept.
Our dogs and horses are NOT at the HSFC shelter at 4057 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA--only our cats, birds, rabbits, and small mammals can be visited there. Come by and see us!
