If you’re looking for a different way to spend Black Friday or you need a break from shopping, stop by the Fairfax County Animal Shelter for Black Fur Day. On Friday, November 28, the shelter is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and adoption fees for black dogs, cats and small animals will be waived.

With 25 dogs and puppies, 40 cats and kittens and dozens of small pets like guinea pigs, birds and rabbits, potential adopters are sure to find the right fit for their family. The shelter does same-day adoptions and staff and volunteers will be on hand to help visitors meet and greet available pets.

Not in the market for a new family pet? No problem! There will be hot cocoa and hands-on fun with some of the shelter’s small animals. Black Fur Day is a great time to stop by to learn about all of the events and programs the shelter has to offer.

This is the first of a series of holiday adoption promotions aimed at finding every animal a home for the holidays. Learn about all of the shelter’s upcoming events and programs by visiting the shelter calendar of events. To keep up with the latest news and information, follow the shelter on Facebook.
