We allow volunteers for all ages to help at our adoption events. We don’t have an actual shelter as we use only foster homes, but we always need handlers for leashed dogs and puppy pen watchers at our adoption events and occasionally for special event.  Adoptions are usually held on Saturdays from 12-3 at Weber’s Pet Supermarket in Chantilly,

A Forever Home (AFH) is a foster-based rescue. We are looking for loving families to care for dogs or pups to help them find that special place called home. We provide equipment, medical care, food, and, if needed, training to foster families and their dogs.
