Faulkner - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia
FAULKNER
Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
Fairfax, Virginia
June 22nd
male, small, adult
DESCRIPTION
This little fluffball is just 23lbs! Faulkner is friendly and excitable in the shelter’s care, but he arrived here as a stray, so we don’t know anything about his previous life. He loves receiving pets all over and enjoys meeting new people – even preferring humans to toys! Faulkner will benefit from working on socialization with both humans and other dogs, and if you have another dog in the home, bring them along to help ensure they’re compatible. Come visit Faulkner and get to know him!
This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!
Be sure to check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt
ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
