About Pets Bring Joy

Pets Bring Joy's mission is to bring joy to people and pets through rescue and adoption of homeless animals in the Virginia/Maryland/Washington, DC metro area. We do so by: Rescuing and fostering animals from shelters and as strays, emphasizing often overlooked (older and/or special needs) pets; Promoting fostered animals to prospective adopters through social media, the Internet, and face-to-face adoption events; Orchestrating a formal adoption process to ensure their placement in qualified, loving forever homes; Overseeing three adoption venues and a network of volunteer foster homes to care for the animals while with Pets Bring Joy; and Educating adopters, volunteers, and the public on the importance of spaying/neutering pets.
