SFC Virginia

The sfc is organized around connecting foster families and adopters in the fredericksburg area and beyond with dogs and cats who have found themselves in a shelter. Virginia is a regional leader in the no-kill movement, but we have a long way to go to reach the national goal of "no-kill 2025." we hope to play a role in helping the state achieve and maintain a 90% live release rate by transferring in animals from underserved county shelters and other rescues that work directly with these shelters and finding them homes in our area. We are a foster-based rescue, which means that animals in our care remain in foster homes until they are adopted. The sfc is committed to open, low-barrier adoptions, which means that in most cases, our pets can be adopted directly from the foster parent or at an adoption event after a meet-and-greet to ensure they are a good fit for your family
