If you want more than two, it will depend on the size of your lot. Dogs must be licensed in Fairfax County. Roosters are only permitted as part of an agricultural operation, like a farm. You need at least two acres for keeping of chickens and other poultry, and livestock, such as horses, goats, and llamas.
In Virginia, there's a law that says you need to bring your pets indoors and not leave them outside for too long if the weather is consistently above 85 degress or below 32 degrees. If left outside too long in freezing temperatures, your pets can suffer from hypothermia and become disoriented or possibly even die.
All dogs four months of age or older must be licensed. Licenses must be purchased annually and are only good through December 31 of the calendar year in which they are issued.

Virginia takes animal hoarding very seriously, and although state-wide laws limiting the number of cats or other pets per household do not exist, Virginia's animal laws are used to prosecute and criminalize animal hoarding as a form of animal cruelty.
