The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria wants to find a home for a big elf this Christmas.
Technically, Marshmallow is a dog, but Animal Welfare League spokesperson Gina Hardter called him a “reluctant elf.” Marshmallow is available for adoption at the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter (4101 Eisenhower Avenue).
The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) has plenty of pets for adoption, but few with as many tricks and devious tactics as the shelter’s own master-thief: Moomoo.
Moomoo, or Moo as he’s known by his friends, is a two-year-old domestic shorthair. Like Remmy, the stately gentleman, Moo is a tuxedo cat. But unlike Remmy, Moo has a devious streak.
Priscilla, a two-year-old terrier mix at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) is a bundle of energy, but she’s sweet and hoping for a home to help her relax.
The pup is very excitable but has been training in patience and meditation with the AWLA staff, according to Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the organization.
It’s Senior Pet Month, so this week’s adorable adoptable from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) is Remmy, 10-year old squeaky tuxedo cat.
Remmy is a “handsome purrball” according to Gina Hardter, director of marketing and communications for AWLA, who praised Remmy’s adorable voice and cute tail shimmy. When Remmy is excited, his tail wiggles ecstatically.
Ricasso, né Rico, came to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria last fall, according to Gina Hardter, director of marketing and communications for the AWLA. He quickly perfected sit, stay and shake, but staff noticed his constant tail-wagging and had an ambitious idea.
“When he was introduced to some washable paint, ‘Ricasso’ was born,” Hardter said.
If you felt inspired by the upcoming Bunny Meditation event on Sunday (Nov. 3), there’s a set of rabbits at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) looking for a home.
The shelter is hopping with rabbits right now, according to Gina Hardter, director of marketing and communications for the AWLA. A residence realized they had too many bunnies to care for and had to part with some of them.
The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) has lots of fun pets available for adoption, but only one trained to high-five you.
Annie is a five-year-old cat at AWLA who loves people and having her chin scratched, according to Gina Hardter, director of marketing and communications for AWLA.
