Fry, a three-year-old ginger tabby, is this week’s Pet Pick from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.
“Fry is a well-traveled gent, having lived as far away as Hawaii, but he’s loving life so far in Virginia,” said Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the AWLA. “Fry is an affectionate guy who needs some time to explore his surroundings, but once he’s comfortable, get ready for a very sweet lap kitty.”
With Halloween around the corner, this week’s Pet Pick from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is Spooky.
“At seven months old, this black lab mix is a bundle of energy who is looking for someone who is ready to match his rambunctious attitude,” said Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the AWLA. “Spooky is still young and could be very interested in training to help him grow into a polite adult dog while stimulating him mentally and physically.”
Jumpy lives up to her name.

Pablo might have a droopy face, but that doesn’t stop the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria’s latest adoptee from smiling.
“Weighing in at more than 115 pounds, American Bulldog Pablo wants everyone to know that he is the perfect size for a lapdog,” said Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the AWLA. “Some big dogs are all energy, but this 3-year-old is all about leisure. He’s content to enjoy a lie-in on a comfy bed or couch, snuggle up with some friends and maybe sneak a treat or two while enjoying a movie marathon.”
Cats have a reputation for being somewhat aloof, but nobody has told that to Alex yet.
The five-year-old tabby up for adoption at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) is desperate for attention and affection.
