Susan's Story

Hello there! My name is Susan and I'm a white and gray kitty who is pretty as can be. I'm also a sweet, quiet and gentle girl who is a bit shy initially, but I am opening up more each day and blossoming into a friendly girl. I've learned that socializing is really fun! I enjoy having company and like it when you talk to me. Once I'm comfortable with you, I like pets and head rubs. I like Temptations and Fancy Feast Appetizers. I enjoy having company when I eat (it makes the chow taste so much better!). I'm curious and would love a window to gaze out. I'm on the lookout for an awesome person to share my life with. I'm great company and a joy to spend time with. Are you ready to bring home your own sweet kitty to pamper and spoil a bit? I hope so. You should come by the shelter so we can meet. I just know you're going to love me! I am available for adoption from my foster home! To learn more about meeting me, email adoptions@alexandriaanimals.org or call 703.746.4774, option 2. ...

Animal Welfare League of Alexandria's Adoption Policy

Thank you for considering adoption of your next companion from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA)! At the AWLA, matchmaking is our specialty. Pairing the right companion animal with the right adopter can be part science and part “art.” Our staff spends time getting to know each potential adopter—learning about his or her lifestyle and hopes for a new companion. Whether an adopter is looking for a energetic kitten or settled senior dog, social house rabbit or sunny parakeet, our staff ensures that every relationship starts off on the right foot—the first step as our residents and their adopters begin a lifelong journey together. Benefits of Adoption As part of the League’s adoption program, all companion animals are: - Tested for heartworm and some other tick-born diseases (in dogs) - Tested for FeLV/FIV (in cats) - Current on all basic vaccinations (dogs, cats and rabbits) - Microchipped (a permanent form of identification in dogs, cats and rabbits) - Spayed or neutered (for dogs, cats and rabbits) - Medically evaluated - Adopters will also receive a voucher for a complimentary wellness exam with one of our partnering veterinarians and access to our behavior hotline. The Steps to Adoption 1. Complete an Adoption Survey Present the adoptions survey to an adoptions associate and learn information about the animal you have selected to meet with. 2. Meet with the Companion Animal. Meeting with the animal will be facilitated by a staff member or volunteer. Dogs may be visited with inside or outside in the play yard. Cats and other small animals may be visited with in their kitty condo or enclosure. 3. Meet with staff for an adoption consultation. Adoption consultation: During the consult the adopter will sit down with a League adoption counselor to review the adoptable animal’s medical and behavioral records, discuss ways to make the transition home a smooth one and finalize necessary paperwork. After this consult, new adopters are welcome to take their new companions home! Adoption Expense Dogs: Youngsters (under the age of 6 months) $350 Adults $250 Bonded pair (adults) $300 Seniors (8 years and over) $150 Bonded pair (seniors) $225 Cats: Youngsters (under the age of 6 months) $200 Adults $150 Bonded pair (adults) $225 Seniors (8 years and over) $100 Bonded pair (seniors) $150 Birds: Starting at $20 Determined by AWLA based on size, age and animal’s health And more!: Ferret, chinchilla or rabbit $50 Bonded pair (ferret, chinchilla or rabbit) $75 Guinea pig $25 Bonded pair of guinea pigs $40 Reptile (snake, lizard) $25 Rat, mouse or hamster $5 Seniors for Seniors Adopters who are 65 years of age or older may adopt any animal that is 8 years of age or older for FREE! Senior animals are often some of the best pets you’ll ever spend your life with and the AWLA wants to provide companionship for all people and animals who need it.
