At Beatin' Feet! Dog Walking, our love of animals extends beyond our wonderful clients. We feel that every animal deserves to be in a loving home where they can share their love in return.
We support the tremendous efforts done by the Fairfax County Animal Shelter and other area foster groups to care for and find homes for all sorts of animals, large and small, with fur or feathers or scales.
Occasionally, our Facebook page will help to spread the word of a shelter resident that particularly tugs at our heartstrings. You may find us at a Friends of Fairfax County Animal Shelter fund raiser. And, we've been known to foster a pup or two, providing a break from shelter life or a bit of time to recuperate from a medical procedure.
Below are a few of our sponsored adoptions who have found their "forever homes". We encourage you to consider ways you might help out too. Check out the webpages for the Fairfax County Animal Shelter and the Friends of Fairfax County Animal Shelter for some ways to contribute.

crystalADOPETD !This petite gal LOVES people! She is quite a cuddler and weighs just 43 pounds, so she's pretty small (and she's got the cutest little ears!). Crystal really enjoys going on walks, and at nine years old she's still got a lot of pep in her step.
Beatin' Feet! is sponsoring Crystal to cover the bulk of her adoption fees - just to make your choice "crystal clear"! Crystal is currently at Fairfax County Animal Shelter and waiting to meet you! |
CLEOADOPETD !Just look at that sweet face! This is Cleo and she lived with her one owner for her whole life. He got her when he was just 14 years old, and she became the "neighborhood dog," following him and his friends around everywhere. But now Cleo is the 14 year old, and her owner had to surrender her because he was moving and couldn't take her. She is an extremely sweet old girl who would love to just sleep all day. She is a little hard of hearing and doesn't have the best teeth, but she's got a huge heart! We would love to find her a nice quiet home where she can relax in comfort for the rest of her golden years. Cleo is currently waiting to meet you at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter and Beatin' Feet! has covered the bulk of her adoption fees to make the introduction even sweeter!

CUCUA D O P T E d !Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce Cucu! This little girl has been perfecting her cuteness for 13 years. That's a lot of cute! Cucu is losing her vision but she never lost sight of finding a home where she can share her love. She loves to get attention from her humans and has a quiet, sweet personality. We knew that someone who saw this little fluffernutter would have a heart just big enough to love this little dog. And we were right! Cucu was adoptedf from the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. Beatin' Feet! sponsored Cucu to cover the bulk of her adoption fees.
Our thanks to Artful Paws Photography for capturing Cucu's sweet face so beautifully and allowing us to share it! |
GEORGIA AND MOXIA D O P T E d !Georgia and Moxi are lifelong friends and an adorable bonded pair. Where one goes, the other must follow. Georgia is the bigger and braver of the two, and greets everyone with a happy wagging tail. Little Moxi feels much more comfortable with her pal around, and they're so close that the shelter has decided they just had to be adopted together. Another kind-hearted person sponsored Moxi's adoption fee and Beatin' Feet! sponsored Georgia. And someone adopted them both!

PRECIOUSA D O P T E D !Precious is a friendly dog who was surrendered because her owner was moving out of the country. Her owner said that she is a low maintenance girl, gets along great with kids, travels well in the car, is crate trained and very well behaved. She's getting a little older and moving a little slower these days, but she is still excited about everything around her. Beatin' Feet! has sponsored Precious to cover the bulk of her adoption fees. Would you welcome Precious into your heart? To learn more about adopting Precious, check out the Fairfax County Animal Shelter website.

GREG
A D O P T E D !
Poor Greg was found by a county resident tied to his crate by some dumpsters. He has been a little nervous at the shelter, jumping at loud noises and looking for his humans to protect him. But once you get to know him, he is a sweet dog who bonds to his people, gives lots of kisses, and enjoys belly rubs and scratches. He loves toys, and they help to soothe him when he gets nervous. He is an energetic boy who would love to find an adopter who will make sure he gets lots of exercise, takes him on lots of adventures, and gives him lots of love.

DIXIE
A D O P T E D !Dixie is a very sweet girl who is at Fairfax County Animal Shelter because her family was moving and couldn't take her. They said that she is very loyal and friendly with adults and children.

FELIX ANTONIO
A D O P T E D !
Felix Antonio and Turtle (below) were our first foray into shelter sponsorship. These two handsome, tuxedo-clad guys had been featured on the Animal Shelter's web page with another kitty near Halloween. Based on Facebook voting, whichever kitty seemed to best "wear" a Batman costume had their adoption fees waived. The third cat, whose name we can't recall, won hands down. But we hated to see these other handsome gents miss out on the fun. So we sponsored both.
