Wolf Trap Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to operate a life saving animal rescue transport and adoption program. These transports operate weekly, where hundreds of homeless puppies and kittens are relocated from Mississippi to awaiting foster homes in Northern Virginia.

Relocating these pets helps to prevent shelters from overcrowding and unnessary euthansia - providing the only hope for pets to find a home. Once transported to WTAR's foster program in Northern VA, the rescued pets are provided all the necesssary veterinary care and training they need until they find their perfect forever home through WTAR's adoption program.

Since 2015 when the program was founded, they have rescued and adopted nearly 12,000 homeless pets in need. Bravo to the Caps and fans, let's step up and order that calendar.
