We are finishing up preparations for our 11th Annual Paws & Claus with Ellen Zangla Photography this Saturday and can't wait to see you there!

Please note, all photo slots are FULL and we are now operating on a waitlist for cancellations. If you would like to join the waitlist, please fill out this form: https://wkf.ms/3YIVBWN

This event booked extremely quickly so we worked to add 10 additional spots this year to accommodate as many pets as logistically possible. We appreciate everyone's patience as we put this event together each year and we are so grateful for your support. For those who were unable to book a photo this year, we hope to see you next year!

We are also incredibly grateful to our sponsors and vendors for their participation and support in making this wonderful event happen for the community. Please give these wonderful businesses a follow and come say hi to them at the event!

Donations this year will go to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue

About Homeward Trails:
Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Founded in 2002, they secure temporary and permanent homes for thousands of dogs and cats annually who are rescued from under-resourced communities and shelters or whose owners can no longer care for them.

Homeward Trails also rescues animals internationally and has partners in numerous countries including Thailand, Kuwait, Peru, Russia, Ukraine and more. They also provide spay/neuter for hundreds of street dogs and cats annually in Puerto Rico through their GuaniCARES program.

In 2020, Homeward Trails created their Trails UP program which brings lifesaving resources, training, education, outreach and funding to Virginia’s most under-resourced communities. Trails UP provides Trap-Neuter-Return and spay/neuter programs, vaccine clinics and sustainable solutions and programs to address the root causes of animal homelessness.

Have you heard the term 'food insecurity' before?
Food insecurity means that individuals or families are so limited in their resources that they are unable to purchase enough nutritious food. In Northern Virginia, more than 75,000 people are food insecure. Families facing food insecurity may start eating less food, cutting out meat or vegetables, feeding their children cheap processed meals, or skipping meals so that their children can eat.

The Woofie's team is dedicated to supporting our community and we would love it if you would join us! Starting today until December 20th, we will be running a donation drive for Food for Others, an integral part of Northern Virginia’s safety net that has been distributing food to those in need since 1995.

How can you help?
Donations can be dropped off to our Reston or Ashburn locations during the specified hours.
You can also send online donations directly to Food for Others through their Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/28CATJNWVS2OT

Donation Locations & Hours:
Woofie's Ashburn-Leesburg
44200 Waxpool Rd, Suite 142
Ashburn, Virginia 20147
Tuesday-Friday 8-4

Woofie's Reston-Herndon
1897 Preston White Drive, Suite 102
Reston, Virginia 20191

The list below contains some of the basic donation items we are suggesting, however, we also recommend including holiday food items.

We cannot accept homemade or cooked foods.

We WILL accept any food items that are labeled, sealed, in original packaging, and unexpired. We ARE able to accept perishable items and encourage these donations as they are not as frequently donated but still vital to families.

Food for Others is the largest provider of free groceries directly to people in need in Northern Virginia. They are a safe place to turn for those in need of food, serving 3,000+ households on average per week. Please join Woofie's in helping our neighbors in need.

Georgia wants to remind everyone to ensure their Halloween candy is out of reach of curious pets this spooky season. Did you know that chocolate isn’t the only toxin found in sweet treats? Xylitol, also known as birch sugar or wood sugar, is a sweetener often found in sugar free treats and is extremely toxic and potentially deadly for pets.

This is a great opportunity to talk to your kids about the dangers of sharing candy and other human food with their pets. You can even make it a fun activity by showing them how to safely offer pet treats instead!

URGENT: A long time client of ours just let us know that these two sweet pittie mixes are in need of a loving home. Unfortunately the owner just had a stroke and is unable to continue taking care of them.

Meet Boo👻 and Lightning⚡️

About:
• Boo is the white female(spayed) pit mix
• Lightning is the black and white male(neutered) pit mix
• Both are each around 50-60 lbs.
• Both dogs are approximately 6 years old.
• While they are a bonded pair, they can be rehomed separately if necessary.

Compatibility:
• Boo does best as the only dog in the household, while Lightning is generally good with other dogs but he prefers a calm environment.
• Both are good with children and have been around kids with no issues.
• Boo doesn’t do well with cats, and Lightning has not had much exposure, so we’re unsure of his reaction.

Behavior:
• They are both farm dogs and have been happiest in a place with space to run. Boo does okay on a leash, but Lightning could use some training in this area.

Health:
• Both dogs are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccines.
• Boo has manageable allergies that respond well to medication.

If you or someone you know is interested, please contact the owner's daughter Virginia at [email protected]

Please share and reach out to your friends and family so we can find these angels a wonderful home💙

We had a great day today with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington for their career exploration field trip. Today the kids learned about interacting with small pets gently and calmly, played pet care trivia games, scavenger hunts, and watched an adorable corgi named Rocket be groomed by Certified Professional Groomer Lemaj, all while learning about what it’s like to be a Professional Pet Groomer!

Passion for animals and pet care often begins at a very young age so it’s incredibly important to nurture that interest and supplement it with knowledge and engaging experiences as they grow. We are so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the Boys and Girls Club of America Greater Washington Clubs and their members! We’re already looking forward to their next visit!

Studies show that petting and interacting with dogs has been proven to increase levels of Oxytocin while decreasing levels of Cortisol, ultimately decreasing stress, anxiety, and even depression.

So, tell your dogs we said thanks for being the best and making the world a happier place!
