Public animal services directory

AnimalControlCheck

Find the right public contact for animal-control assistance or a lost pet. We cannot tell you which shelter has your animal.

Fairfax City and Fairfax County have different animal-control contacts. A postal city name alone does not establish jurisdiction.

Manual locality selection only. No street address, location access or owner details are requested.

Contact the facility now

Ask it to confirm custody, reclaim requirements, fees and any applicable deadline. A minimum legal hold is not your reclaim deadline.

Immediate danger

For an immediate emergency, call 911. Public directory contacts cannot replace emergency assistance.
