Chateau-Animaux hosts dog and cat adoptions in Washington, DC, and dog adoptions in Alexandria, Virginia!

    Each week Chateau-Animaux is pleased to host dog and cat adoptions at our retail stores on Capitol Hill, in Washington, DC, and Alexandria, Virginia. (See our Calendar of Events for dates and times).

     According to the Humane Society of the United States, approximately 6-8 million cats and dogs enter shelters each year, and approximately 3-4 million are euthanized. That's why Chateau-Animaux has always been committed to helping find good homes for companion animals.

     We work with several groups on an ongoing basis, including Capital Cats, the Washington Humane Society, and others. We have, for example, also hosted adoptions with the Washington Animal Rescue League, Homeward Trails, Maine Coon Cat Rescue, Greyhound rescue, Dalmatian rescue and the House Rabbit Society.

     Chateau-Animaux offers a ten percent (10%) in-store discount on all purchases made by anyone adopting a dog or cat through its adoptions programs on the day of the adoption.

    In addition to our working with local pet adoption groups we have designed our Chateau-Animaux Affiliate Program to provide additional funds for non-profit animal-related groups, including shelters, rescue and breed groups. Click here to join our Affiliate Program.

Capital Cats

Capital Cats is an all-volunteer group that is committed to finding homes for the feline population on Capitol Hill.  They actively trap, spay and neuter street cats, and foster them in their homes until new homes can be found.  Since they are fostering the cats in their homes, they know their unique personalities and are able to place them in appropriate environments.

Cat adoptions are held nearly every Sunday at Chateau-Animaux.  The group follows standard adoptions procedures: the potential adopter completes an application, a home check is completed and a donation is requested upon approval.  See photos and descriptions at: www.capitalcats.petfinder.com, www.homealone.petfinder.com.

The Washington Humane Society

     The Washington Humane Society "protects animals and serves the community through a wide variety of programs. While the heart of [its] mission remains rescuing animals in trouble and finding them good, permanent homes, [it] also focuses on preventing suffering through education, spay/neuter campaigns and diligently enforcing the District's anti-cruelty laws."

      WHS typically brings its mobile adoption van to Chateau-Animaux on the Second Saturday of every month.
