Tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25, 2025, is the final day to take advantage of free spaying and neutering for adopted pets at the Prince William County Animal Shelter.
To mark World Spay Day, the shelter has offered a special adoption event, covering the cost of standard spay and neuter procedures for all adoptions from February 21–25, 2025. This means there’s still one more day to bring home a furry friend while ensuring they receive essential veterinary care at no extra cost.
Young Lab mix Skinner, pictured above, reminds you that this opportunity won’t last forever. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the perfect time. In addition to the pets included in the free spay/neuter event, the shelter also has many already-fixed animals just waiting for their forever homes.
So why wait? Head to the Prince William County Animal Services Bureau and find your new best friend today!

Seven-month-old Zeke has been growing up in his foster home, eagerly awaiting a family to call his own. This energetic pup arrived at the shelter as a stray, and despite his sweet nature, no one came to claim him. But that hasn’t dampened his spirit—Zeke has been having a blast playing and learning alongside his canine foster siblings.
Zeke would thrive in a home with another dog or a family committed to keeping him socialized. Due to his playful, sometimes mouthy nature, he would do best in a household with children aged 8 and up. He’s already house and crate trained, travels well in the car, and is ready to bring joy to his new family.
If you’re looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion, Zeke might be the perfect fit! To learn more or to set up a meet-and-greet, email [email protected].
Zeke is available for adoption through Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter. Visit their website for more details: Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter.
Three loving feline sisters are looking for a new home at the Stafford County Animal Shelter. Abigail, Tabatha, and Fantasia, all 9-years-old, were recently surrendered through no fault of their own. Now, they are waiting for a family to open their hearts and home to them.
Each of these cats has a unique personality:
- Fantasia (Tortoiseshell) – The most independent of the three, Fantasia is affectionate but enjoys her space. She is confident and would do well as an only cat or with her sisters.
- Abigail (Tuxedo) – The most outgoing, Abigail loves greeting visitors and quickly makes friends with new feline roommates.
- Tabatha (Black) – Sweet and gentle, Tabatha can be shy at first but warms up quickly, winding around you and purring contentedly.
All three are spayed and have previously lived with dogs, making them adaptable to various home environments.

Boy, oh boy—can these boys use a miracle. Eeny and Tigger have endured a heartbreaking journey over the past few months, but we’re hopeful their luck will change.
First, these sweet cats lost their beloved caretaker. A family member took them in, offering comfort and stability—until, sadly, they lost their home again. When they arrived at Prince William County Animal Services, they were completely shell-shocked. Tigger became withdrawn and depressed, while Eeny, overwhelmed with fear, became defensive. Despite trying different housing arrangements and plenty of treats, Eeny remained hesitant.
That’s when they were placed in a foster home—and the results were nothing short of amazing!
- Yes, they’re bonded. These two are inseparable—they groom each other, play together, and cuddle up when it’s time for a nap.
- Yes, they love people! It took just one day for Eeny to come out of his shell, and now he’s rolling on his back for pets. Tigger is a biscuit-making champion, and both adore spending time with their person.
Eeny and Tigger are playful, affectionate, and curious. They love bunny-kick catnip toys, laser pointers, Temptations treats, and scratching posts. Now, all they need is a forever home with someone who will cherish them as much as they cherish each other.

Eeny and Tigger are currently in a foster home, and meet-and-greets can be scheduled by contacting [email protected].

If you’re looking for a loyal companion to add to your family, Groot might just be the perfect match! This adorable three-year-old arrived at Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter as a stray, and staff are still getting to know him.
Groot may take a little time to warm up, often appearing confused until he gets to know you. He could use some confidence building, but with the right family, he’ll surely come out of his shell. His interactions with other dogs and cats are still being assessed, but updates will be available soon.
If Groot’s sweet face has captured your heart, the shelter encourages you to schedule a meet and greet. Stop by Tuesday through Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m., and be sure to bring the whole family—both two-legged and four-legged members!

A blue heron in distress received a helping hand from local law enforcement.
On Saturday, February 8, Deputy O.J. Martins responded to Argyle Hills after receiving a call about an injured bird that was unable to fly. Upon arrival, she located the heron trapped in a backyard, unable to take flight.
Nicknamed “Tony Stork” by rescuers, the bird lacked the endurance to leave the ground—unlike his namesake, Tony Stark, in his Iron Man suit. Officials suspect the ongoing bird flu outbreak may have contributed to the heron’s condition.
Tony Stork was transported to the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center for further care. Wildlife officials hope the bird will make a full recovery and return to its natural habitat in “beak performance.”
The rescue was conducted with the assistance of Stafford County Animal Control, which works to protect animals and educate the public on responsible wildlife and pet care. Residents can learn more about their services, including animal rescue and adoption, by visiting Stafford County Animal Control’s website.
This limited-time offer is perfect for bringing home a loving companion while ensuring they receive essential veterinary care. Whether you’re looking for a playful pup or a cuddly cat, your future best friend awaits you.
