This week’s pets of the week feature a group of dogs at Arlington Animal Services, our VIP Adoptable Dogs. These dogs are available for adoption and listed as VIP for reasons that include their time spent in the shelter, available space in the shelter, a senior pet over eight years old, heartworm positive dogs, special needs, or at the discretion of the Animal Care Supervisor or Shelter Manager. While most of the dogs at Arlington Animal Services are VIP due to their time spent in the shelter, we encourage anyone searching for a new best friend online or when visiting the shelter to ask a shelter team member for more information about any pet they are interested in meeting or adopting. We love sharing stories or information about our shelter pets! At Arlington Animal Services, all our dogs, VIP included, have had only positive interactions with people and other dogs in the shelter. If you have another doggie companion at home, we encourage you to bring them with you for an official “meet and greet” with one of our shelter team members to help ensure a smooth transition with an adoptable pet and your own pet. As our shelter also continues to remain at capacity for large dogs, we hope that you will consider opening your hearts and homes this holiday season to a VIP dog in need of a loving furever home! Don’t forget, a VIP dog is still a perfectly wonderful pet looking for love, they just need someone to give them the chance they deserve.
