Watch to the end. We promise it’s worth it. As the Olympics come to a close, we’re comparing some of our dogs with USA Olympic stars you love! All pups (except Nino who will be adoptable soon) are available for adoption. Big dogs (40+ lbs) have waived adoption fees the whole month of August, thanks to The Nellis Group! #adopt #dmv #dc

Oh, Oscar ... we’re going to find your people! Oscar spent a few months with a foster family. We learned so much about him, including that he’s house trained and can be left unattended in the home without making any messes. Sadly, his foster family moved away, and Oscar is back at the shelter waiting to find the right fit. (Thank you SO MUCH to his foster family for all the love and care they provided!) Here’s what we know: Oscar is a big ol’ boy at more than 100 pounds. We think he’ll thrive in a home with older kids or no kids and no other animals. He just likes his own space — who can blame him? Overall, he’s a very easygoing, laid back guy. He is a great leash walker and has excellent check-in behavior with his handler. He is affectionate and social and makes an excellent companion. His foster family said he is also a great advocate for his needs, giving little barks when he needs to go out and potty.Thanks to our friends at Pampered Pet Boutique Barkery, his adoption fee is sponsored, plus he will get a year’s worth of free dog food and a shopping spree at their store. If you’re interested in meeting him, come visit us today from noon until 7 p.m.!
Uh oh! 😬 Our animals’ overwhelming cuteness broke the internet.
We are experiencing some technical difficulties with our adoptable animals software!
Despite this glitch, our fee-waived adoption event continues — and today is the last day. 💙 There are still some dogs needing to find homes, including sweet, wiggly, and social Mimi.
We’re open today from noon until 5 p.m.

It’s all hands (and paws) in this weekend to find some great homes for our dogs! 🚨We’re still at max capacity in our dog dorms. 🚨All of the dogs in the video are available for adoption! Come meet them and our other adoptables today from noon until 7 p.m. Adoption fees are waived for *most* of our dogs! Plus, dog adopters will receive some added adoption perks this weekend, thanks to some local businesses. #adopt #alexandriava #alexanimals #dmvdogs #handsinchallenge
Anyone else struggle with this? 🫠 However, we’ve come to one (super solid) conclusion that we ADORE adoptable Huggies. 🩷 Part muppet, part land seal Huggies is incredibly handsome with his sleek silvery gray coat and unevenly floppy ears. He is active and curious, but also enjoys his leisure time. He is house and crate trained, too! He does pretty darn good on a leash and is an overall well-mannered dog. If you think you’ve come to the same conclusion about Huggies, come visit him today from noon until 7 p.m. #alexanimals #adopt #alexandriava
We’re on a mission to find Jack a home — SOON! He’s been waiting since December to find a family to love him. And we’re not sure why … he’s easy to love! ❤️ Jack knows cues for sit and paw. He has been good with other dogs, and is just an overall delightful guy. He arrived heartworm positive, but he’s completed treatment and is ready to roll! Thanks to our friends at Pampered Pet Boutique Barkery, his new family will receive one year’s worth of food for him, plus a $100 shopping spree. His adoption fee has also been sponsored! Come meet him today from noon until 7 p.m.! #adopt #alexanimals #alexandriava
