“Cooper is very social and loves to give lots (and lots) of kisses,” said Shackelford. “Cooper has never met a stranger — he makes extremely fast friends!”
With a few years under his belt, Cooper knows a few tricks. He of course knows to not use the bathroom indoors and knows to sit and shake — or “paw”. This lovable guy is ready to chill in his forever home with his forever family!

Named after the Bronte siblings, Branwell and Charlotte are two sweet kittens up for adoption at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.
Branwell and Charlotte are two of the most happiest kittens and would make wonderful companions, according to AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford. Branwell is a handsome black and white male kitten, and Charlotte is a beautiful gray and white female kitten.
Both kittens have been diagnosed with FeLV (feline leukemia virus), which is common in cats. FeLV cannot be cured, but those diagnosed can live a happy symptom free life with the right care!
“Their lifespan is usually shorter — the average lifespan of an FeLV+ kitten is 2-3 years, but they can live longer,” said Shackelford. “FeLV+ cats should not live with other cats who do not already have the disease, as the virus can be spread to other cats.”
These two fluff balls are happy, healthy and full of energy!
Like any other kittens they enjoy treats, especially Churus and are very playful. They love playing with feather wands and pipe cleaner toys.
If interested in talking with the adoption and veterinary teams about caring for an FeLV+ cat, please email [email protected] or call 703-746-4774. And don’t forget to read more about Branwell and Charlotte by checking out their entire profiles!
Prince is a very handsome 1-year-old pup up for adoption at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.
This all white pup with the black button nose is a bit shy at first, but warms up once getting to know you, according to AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford.
“As he is young, we do think he’d thrive in a home with a yard or an active individual to take him on walks, runs, or other outdoor adventures,” said Shackelford. “Prince absolutely adores toys! He can be found prancing around the shelter with a stuffed toy in his mouth.”
Prince knows to share his toys and loves to chase them!
This pup is also very smart and continued training will definitely help stimulate him mentally.
His adoption fees have been paid and Prince’s new family will receive a year’s supply of healthy, nutritious dog food, plus toys and treats thanks to Pampered Pet Boutique and Barkery!

Ready to add a furry companion to your family?
Say hello to Nina, a 1-year-old brown brindle with white markings who is up for adoption at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria!
Nina loves to entertain and run around with all her toys, especially plush toys, according to AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford.
“They’re her absolute favorite — she enjoys playing fetch, tug, and just slinging them around,” said Shackelford. “She can entertain herself with toys alone.”
This girl is a hoot and enjoys water! Splashing around in a kiddie pool is the highlight of her day.
Nina is still very young and would do well in a home where she can go on long walks or runs. She also has lovely house manners, so being left on her own for a few hours is no problem.
Nina would also do well in a home as the only pet — she wouldn’t want to share her pup cup with anyone!
