Meet Winston! Clearly, he is as distinguished as his name would imply. As a senior gentleman, Winston knows what he likes and dislikes. His foster family sent us this list:
👍Likes✅
▪️ Boiled chicken and Churus
▪️ Pens
▪️ Balls with bells
▪️ Head scritches
▪️ Fabric wands
👎Dislikes❌
▪️ Catnip
▪️ Being pet around his butt (just don’t, OK?)
▪️ Being picked up (he’ll tolerate it)
▪️ Fluffy beds/blankets (likes his blankets flat, hard and scratchy - whatever, man 🤷♂️)
Winston is also target stick trained and can go into his carrier on his own. (See him in action in the comments!) He likes playing food puzzles and is friendly and social. He’s a great work-from-home partner and never steps on your keyboard (but might snore).
To meet Winston, email us at adoptions@AlexandriaAnimals.org or call 703-746-4774, option 2. His adoption fee is waived through the end of the month!
We're still waiting for a home for the pawlidays 🥺 ...
From now until the end of December, our great friends at Priority Toyota Springfield are covering the adoption fees for all small mammals and dogs and cats 6 months and older.
We have many wonderful adoptable animals that would love to cozy up with you while you celebrate the season and ring in the New Year!
We are open today from noon until 7 p.m. and tomorrow (Christmas Eve) from noon until 2 p.m. Please come see us!
Help us make the season merry and bright for shelter and community animals! ❄️
From now until December 31, choose an animals' wish list item from our Pawlidays Wish Tree in our shelter lobby during business hours. Then, shop for the animals’ requested item(s) either in town or online.
If you're shopping in town, items can be dropped off all month long. Items purchased from our digital wishlist will be shipped directly to us.
Can't make it in person? Please consider purchasing items from our Woofs & Whiskers Amazon Wishlist here: https://a.co/2EF8hjC.
We have a VIP (very important pup) here. 😎 Of course all our animals are important, but Seymour has had a long road to adoption. Here's his tall tail!
After arriving on a transport from Florida in September, our vet team realized he had a serious heart issue coupled with heartworms. We weren't sure of Seymour's prognosis originally, but after consulting with canine cardiologists, they thought he had a chance ... IF he had a big heart surgery. ❤️🩹 The heart surgery was the only way Seymour would have the chance to live a long, healthy life.
Seymour received the surgery, thanks to AWLA's Sarah's Fund, and has recovered beautifully. He still needs to have the heartworms treated, which we will take care of at the AWLA! His new family will need to have a follow up appointment with a cardiologist in the future.
Seymour is 5-years-old and as sweet, inquisitive, playful, and just plain fun as they come. He may need some fine tuning on his housetraining, but his foster parent reported he was a gentleman in the house. He does well with other dogs, too.
If you think Seymour sounds like the perfect pal, come meet him today from noon until 5 p.m.
