Wolf Trap Animal Rescue

I honestly had a very upsetting experience with this rescue, and I wish things had gone differently. I spent eight months with the stray cat I gave to them—feeding him every day, earning his trust, and building a real bond. He knew me, he was comfortable with me, and in many ways he already felt like my own cat. Looking back, giving him to this rescue was a mistake that has weighed heavily on me. After I gave him away, the regret hit me almost immediately. I reached out to everyone I could, explaining how emotionally attached I was and how depressed I felt about my decision. I wasn’t expecting special treatment, just some compassion or understanding. Instead, the only response I received was that I needed to “fill out an application and pay the $25 fee.” That was it. No conversation, no r

I’ve had the privilege of fostering close to 10 puppies through Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, and I can confidently say they are a first-class organization. From the moment each puppy arrives, it’s clear how much care and effort WTAR puts into their well-being. The support they provide to fosters is incredible, ensuring that every puppy gets the best possible start before finding their forever home. Nine years ago, I adopted one of my own fosters, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. WTAR doesn’t just save dogs—they change lives, both for the animals and the people who welcome them. Their dedication, organization, and passion for rescue are unmatched. If you’re looking to foster, adopt, or support a truly caring rescue, I can’t recommend Wolf Trap Animal Rescue enough!

I’ve been a volunteer foster for Wolf Trap Animal Rescue and fostered 5 puppies/dogs. It is such a good experience to foster and this organization is completely coordinated- the rescue pick ups, the foster, the veterinarian. If you are looking for an opportunity I highly recommend Wolf Trap Animal Rescue- everything every time runs so smoothly! Meet Dumpling! My latest addition-

I used this practice when my dog was ready to be neutered. Every step of the process was smooth and easy. Scheduling online was simple and convenient, staff followed up diligently with instructions and reminders, and communication was wonderful. The care he received was excellent. I got advice on his plan of care to ensure his needs were best addressed, and clear aftercare instructions.id absolutely recommend this practice for your pet care needs.

My boyfriend and I adopted a cat very quickly and easily. The application form was painless and we were able to meet our cat the next day, and adopt him the next week. The foster mom, Michelle, was very quick to respond to any questions we had and house-trained our kitty perfectly. We also appreciated that Dr. Amber Burton checked in with us ahead of time, and we got a call to see how he was settling in after a week. You can tell they really care about both the animals and the people adopting them. Highly recommend!
