If you can't/don't want to keep the dog, try the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (alexandriaanimals dot org; tel 703-746-4774; shelter at 4101 Eisenhower Avenue). Although their name is 'Alexandria,' they work with pets and owners in Fairfax, too. The staff and volunteers are great, friendly, compassionate, and will make sure the dog gets placed in a good home if the original owner can't be found. Give them a call even if you don't want to put the dog in a shelter or foster home - they can give you good info/advice on your options. (If you post a 'found dog' ad on Craigslist, leave out some detail about the dog's appearance or where it was found - make people tell you that info in order to check that it's really their dog and not someone looking for a free dog to use for dog fighting bait, or something.)
