Since 1973, more than 17,500 dogs and cats have found a safe haven and second chance at life and love at Friends of Homeless Animals. Each year, FOHA places hundreds of cats and dogs into their new forever homes. Most have been transported from other parts of Virginia and Maryland where shelters are crowded, adoptions are less frequent and the animals seeking adoption are high. Giving these animals the time they need to find their new family is our top priority.
