About Us

Humane Society of Northern Virginia, powered by Advocates   for Abused and Abandoned Pets’ mission is to promote the human-animal bond and no-kill philosophy through compassion, empathy and education. We advocate for companion pets by providing them with the care, nurturing and training to prepare them for placement into the "right" home for life; we provide sanctuary to those older, injured or otherwise difficult to place animals who are at risk of euthanasia. Our motto and our goal is Pets 4 Life.
