Friends of Homeless Animals

FOHA is a no-kill animal shelter located in Northern Virginia -- dedicated to caring for abandoned and abused dogs and cats while they wait for their permanent, loving homes.

Why do we exist?

Friends of Homeless Animals strives to:

• Bring an end to the unnecessary killing of companion animals.
• Provide a safe haven for abused and abandoned animals.
•  Provide food, shelter, medical care, rehabilitation and compassion to homeless animals.
• Find permanent, loving homes for the animals in our care.
• And most importantly, bring about a time when there will be no more homeless pets and every dog and cat can be guaranteed a loving home

What have you accomplished?

FOHA has been in existence since 1973 and is committed to helping as many homeless animals as possible.  Whereas other rescue organizations may focus on adopting out as many animals as possible, FOHA takes the stance that each animal deserves to be saved, regardless of age or disability.  As such, FOHA rescues many animals in need of medical care, such as surgery, heartworm treatment, etc., and gives those animals the medical treatment they need prior to adoption.  FOHA does not turn away animals because of pre-existing conditions such as heartworm positive dogs or FIV-positive cats.  We realize that although others may not see these animals as “perfect”, they are destined to be someone’s “perfect” companion.
